I Remember Nothing and Other Reflections by Nora Ephron

Clik here to view.Nora Ephron's new bookI Remember Nothing is a fun series of short essays about many subjects, especially aging. This is a great book to take with you when you will only have snatches of time to read.  The essays range from complaining about e-mail to being obsessed with an online Scrabble game.  Nora is a wonderfully funny writer.  You may remember her screenplays for When Harry Met Sally and Julie and Julia. These short pieces are just the thing to give you a laugh while you nod your head in agreement with her.  Her first essay on aging felt very familiar to me. I have trouble remembering names of movies or people, but somewhere in my brain I recall a piece of the information, as she does trying to remember the movie title Reversal of Fortune.  She knew it was three words and the middle one was "of".  I do that all the time.  Another favorite is "The O Word" meaning old.  If you like this short book you will probably like I Feel Bad About My Neck, so order that one too.
