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>

评分 评分很好看的一本书,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...
评分这本书是大猫推荐的,小小的薄册子,很易读,美中不足就是纸不好,好象还有几个错别字。作者是写《当哈利遇上莎莉》《西雅图夜未眠》《电子情书》等等麦格瑞恩主演的电影的人,我喜欢麦格瑞恩,喜欢那些电影,也喜欢这位作者。她的书常常让我笑出来,有些事,那些为衣服为包包...
女神经病一枚
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cannot help smiling while reading this on the subway...
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.
评分this is such an enjoyable piece and ends up with sadness.
