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.
Ephron chronicles her life as an obsessed cook, passionate city dweller, and hapless parent. She recounts her anything-but-glamorous days as a White House intern during the JFK years (“I am probably the only young woman who ever worked in the Kennedy White House that the President did not make a pass at”) and shares how she fell in and out of love with Bill Clinton—from a distance, of course. But mostly she speaks 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.</p>

很好看的一本书,而且又是新书????所以我是我们学校图书馆的开书人之一么? 很薄,几小时就可以读完。碰巧她编剧导演的那些电影,都是二十几岁的我耳熟能详的。 这是个毒舌女王的小心机笔记,犀利毒辣不留情面,自嘲起来对自己也是绝不手软,绝大多数观点都是有共鸣的: “心理...

评分周日从北京飞回上海,夜里安慰朋友感情的事情,准备11点左右睡觉。这时候接到电话,起床加班到3点多,睡了2.5小时,5.30的时候起床,去机场赶飞机出差。迷迷糊糊睡了一路,到了机场发现忘记带kindle了,于是在机场买了这本书。 老实说,买之前我不知道诺拉艾芙隆是谁,听说过S...
评分《我的脖子令我很不爽》看到这个题目的时候很多人大概会以为这是一本讲颈部保养的书,或者还有人会以为这是一本讲颈椎保健的书,总之,一看到“脖子”两个字大家的想法就惯性的指向了保养与保健……拜托,如果有人想推销颈霜,只要在时尚杂志上打几个整幅广告就好了;如果有人...
评分第一次听到白岩松说“渴望年老”的时候,我心里想:男人真是奇怪。渴望年老?这就好比一个饿了的人吃了6个包子才饱了。他无比欣赏让他有饱腹感的最后一个包子,于是他的视线越过那5个包子,遥望第6个,深情地说——“渴望吃饱”。 大多数女人都不会渴望年老。即使很多书、很多...
