Nora Ephron - essayist and film director - has a new book out, I Feel Bad About My Neck: and Other Thoughts on Being a Woman. Although I feel fine about my age and my neck, I'm eager to read this book - simply because Nora Ephron wrote it. So far the best article I've seen on it is an interview by Rebecca Traister at Salon, with the headline "What's So Damn Great About Aging?" Very entertaining.

Haven't read it yet, put I saw the line quoted:

Our faces are lies and our necks are the truth. You have to cut open a redwood tree to see how old it is, but you wouldn’t if it had a neck.

Others must feel the same about reading this book, because there are 38 holds on it.
