I'm only 39 but I could relate to a lot of her essays. I just really like her style. It's light, concise, and humorous, but she has a great vocabulary that she uses in an easy, natural way.

A selection of mostly humorous essays about, well, getting old. Ephron was 69 when she published this and very definitely looking more backward than forward in her life. Given the length and breadth of her career and her breezy name…

A remembrance of sorts written and read with wit, insight and humility. It is great to hear her voice - her writing was such an influence on me in the 70s and 80s. It was especially lovely to hear her stumble over and recover from…

Unless you are trying to gain a better understanding of your mom or grandmother, you might think twice before reading Nora Ephon's last book. But for those of us women who fit into either of the above categories (or are old enough to fit),…

Very funny, an easy read. Poignant on relationships, aging. I hadn't remember that Nora Ephron is a successful screenwriter, with such credits as When Harry Met Sally, You've Got Mail, and Sleepless in Seattle. Her sister is Delia Ephron,…

Sadly, this was Ephron’s last book before she passed away in 2012 at the age of 71. Her book reads somewhat like a lesson plan of mistakes to try to avoid in life - specifically her mistakes. She laments her two divorces, her movies that…
Oh , my - this is my first reading of Nora's work . I felt her first story was very weak , but this was her last book - and her writing showed enormous courage an grace . She will be missed .

Remembering how funny the title story was in "I Feel Bad About My Neck," I took this out, hoping for more of the same, but was disappointed. Too much name dropping (of people whom I don't even recognize) and not entertaining enough. Once…

Very funny lady. And lots of tidbits about her life, her cities. Very enjoyable.

Any woman coming up on 50 (or shhh... older) will enjoy and identify with at least some of these anecdotes.

Despite the plaintive declaration of the title, Nora Ephron does indeed remember stuff, and, fortunately for her readers, she is still adept at crafting a well written essay, memoir, and anecdote. Ephron continues the mild rant on getting…
