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>

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...
评分用脖子以上去经历这个世界 文/Sofia 说实话,《我的脖子让我很不爽》这本书中有很多观点都让我不能认同。 比如说作者对包包的态度。她不知道凯莉包是什么东东,她这辈子用过的最理想的手袋是一个26美元买来的、不怕风吹雨打、看上去永远也不会坏的黄蓝色的塑料袋子。你可以说这...
评分年初时我回顾Meryl Streep终身成就奖颁奖典礼,心里默默地替各位嘉宾的发言打分。第一名:Nora Ephron。修炼英式dry humor不容易,而Nora往那儿一站这种幽默就如同跳跳糖般急不可待从她口中蹦出来。弹跳力量适中。 书中处处充溢着这种幽默感。我的飞机在凌晨起飞,索性横躺在...
评分很多人初看这本书的书名时,会被人误以为是一本保健书籍,当你看到作者诺拉·艾芙隆名字的时候,你才发现是位多才多艺的作家,还是《西雅图的不眠夜》等经典电影的编剧和导演。 I feel bad about my neck/我的脖子让我很不爽,就给人留下很深的印象。不得不说,p4中的形容脖子...
A quick & delightful read. Nora is unfailingly honest and humorous about love, aging, cooking, apts, and yes, death. And so is her writing.
评分因为去找I remember nothing 才看到这本,被书名吸引,老太用调侃的语气讲了些关于女人的一些烦恼和感悟, 她的颈纹,她的婚姻,纽约的住处,食物,书籍,为人父母等等。有时候有点浮,就读着一页就停滞了。要安静了才能感受她的幽默呢
评分It's not about the age. Technology is a bitch. Children will leave home someday. You will start gain weight. Then you realize you just accept who you are, and understand what is important.
