Book Reviews of I Feel Bad About My Neck: And Other Thoughts On Being a Woman (Vintage)
Book Review: I am 20 something and hate my purse too!
Summary: 5 Stars
direct quote
I hate being lost,he hates being lost, Our marriage hates being lost.
okay I am not a woman of a certain age but I fell in love with this lady's works of art a couple of years ago when I read her blog ,then Heartburn and the essay from the 70's about boobage... laughed hysterically at the essay I hate my purse (I am a disaster with purses and used to have a backpack purse) I also can't organize anything to save my life and no matter how expensive the purse is I still end up getting moisturizing creme or toothpaste or lipstick all over it..
I adored the one called Rapture about her being so entranced by a book and putting everything else in life on the back burner to finish it... she tics off some of her favorite books at different time in her life and what couch she was sitting on when she read it
her best one was my life in 3500 hundred words or less..and how her mother said everything was copy....
and there's one called Me and Bill - The end of love about how sometimes she just wants to call Bill Clinton up and call him a hypocrite but then sees him on TV and is refreshed how intelligent he is compared to Bush.
There is also one about lost food its called the lost strudel.. that was linked to great memories of different things and places and people and memories you can only have through eating that food..
I have decided the next time I am in New York I will have to try some cabbage strudel it sounds fabulous
I like how this book was written in stream of consciousness style and how she has a smart elecky sense of humor,,,,
My all time favorite one was Me and jfk.she was an intern at the JFK whitehouse when she was very young, and how her whole job consisted of autographing pictures of JFK and there was no place for her to sit(and she had to sit on the carpet next to the bathroom) so she would just get up and leave and roam all around the White House and see what was happening, and how she was a little miffed back then that he never tried to get with her ... (if you don't read anything else read this one... I could relate to it and its the exact reason Johnny Depp and Blair Underwood and I will never get it on..
I didn't realize she was so petite and skinny until I saw her at the conference with a bunch of writers from Huffungton Post. She looks like a grown up version of Ramona Quimby from the Beverly cleary books.. I also didn't realize she had Attention Deficit Disorder...when I read her blog I thought she was a lot younger than 60 something!
Everything was good except for the one on serial monogamy(i was totally puzzled) and maintenance it was really gross..esp the part about excess body hair and waxing(waay too much share)
Also she has a very dark oddball sense of humor and tends to jump around from subject to subject (which I like but some people may find annoying)
everything else was funny in this dry sort of way
EXCEPT
for the last chapter about death and losing friends that made cry because it was all so painfully true, but i am glad it was put in this cool little book because you could SEE the real woman..and how ballsy she is to admit she is afraid to die because she doesn't know what will happen after she dies.. I think if we were all really honest with ourselves we would say we are terrified of dying too... I am and I combat it by not thinking about it
anyway rent the book on tape its very easy to listen to.. she sounds like she is from New Jersey and tries to cover it up by over pronouncing everything
