Some books should be read without any expectations, especially when you feel bad about your neck.
As the neck is an important organ in reading, reading a bulky book can take hold of your neck!
How long can you keep your neck bent on a book?
A light book will work as a remedy in such a case. Like this.
“Oh the necks. There are chicken necks. There are turkey gobbler necks. There are elephant necks. There are necks with wattles and necks with creases that are on the verge of becoming wattles. There are scrawny necks and fat necks, loose necks, crepey necks, banded necks, wrinkled necks, stringy necks, saggy necks, flabby necks, mottled necks.”
The book is a collection of 15 essays by the author, which are written in a light and jubilant mood.
She talks about the case of her neck in the first essay, then she says that she hates her purse and writes for women whose purses are a morass of loose Tic Tacs, solitary Advils, lipstick without tops, Chapstics of unknown vintage, and so on. Talks about her insane culinary episodes. Talks about maintenance of hair, hairdryer, and nails. She says in one of the essays that at the lowest point of her adult life she had been rescued by a building, talking about her days when she shifted from Newyork to Washington D.C., and in one essay she writes the story of her life in less than 3500 words. She also talks about her and JFK.
These essays are her intimate personal account, her views, and her changing world-view with aging.
I recommend it for having a light read!
Not a bad book! Keep Expectations low though in the beginning.
