More summer reading

I just read Nora Ephron's collection of essays I Feel Bad About my Neck. You know Nora Ephron, who wrote and directed some of the most popular romantic comedies ever, generally starring Meg Ryan. I expected the essays to be very, very light and make me laugh a little. Well, I laughed a lot, out loud even. The first two essays were so very light, even silly, that I was almost put off, but the later essays carry much more gravitas and are surprisingly soulful. Highly recommended summer reading.
