I Feel Bad About My Neck: and Other Thoughts on Being a Woman [L0102]

2006 HCDJ in Gift-Worthy condition. With her disarming, intimate, completely accessible voice, and dry sense of humor, Nora Ephron shares with us her ups and downs in "I Feel Bad About My Neck," a candid, hilarious look at women who are getting older and dealing with the tribulations of maintenance, menopause, empty nests, and life itself. The woman who brought us "When Harry Met Sally", "Sleepless in Seattle", "You've Got Mail", and "Bewitched," and the author of best sellers "Heartburn," "Scribble Scribble," and "Crazy Salad," discusses everything -from how much she hates her purse to how much time she spends attempting to stop the clock: the hair dye, the treadmill, the lotions and creams that promise to slow the aging process but never do. Oh, and she can't stand the way her neck looks. But her dermatologist tells her there's no quick fix for that. She writes frankly and uproariously about life as a woman of a certain age. Utterly courageous, wickedly funny, and unexpectedly moving in its truth telling, "I Feel Bad About My Neck" is a book of wisdom, advice, and laugh-out-loud moments, a scrumptious, irresistible treat.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "I wanted to find this book irrelevant in my far too young life. Instead, it hit all the right buttons, from my neck to my empty nest to my purse. It was like Ms. Ephron was right there staring in the bathroom mirror with me. The good news is, I'm not alone. The bad news is, now I know it really is all about my neck. Except for all the other stuff."; "Laugh out loud funny. In the end Ms. Ephron thanks and pays tribute to all of the people who helped her feel young. Maybe 40's is a good time to read. 50's for sure."; "This was the perfect book for a dreary, rainy day. I Feel Bad About My Neck lightened my mood and reminded me how great it is to be a woman, turtleneck and all. Every now and then, I need a book that makes me laugh. Each chapter in this collection of humorous essays served as a refreshing palette cleanser when I needed lighter fare."
