I Still Have It . . . I Just Can't Remember Where I… par Rita Rudner
essays on aging
Rita Rudner is a funny lady. She wrote this in 2008, when my 50's were still a comfortable few years away. I would have laughed just as much if I read it then, but I can definitely relate even more now that I am also a Fiftysomething.
Rudner's style reminds me a bit of Seinfeld - gentle, observational humor that is not crass or mean-spirited. She tells stories specific to her life as a stand-up comic, but also about things most women can relate to: toilet training a toddler; the challenge of buying your husband a Christmas present year after year; the indignities of growing older in a society that worships youth; and caring for an aging parent - all entertaining, with many laugh-out-loud moments.
[I am SO glad I happened to spot this on my bookshelf - I devoured it in less than 24 hours, laughing all the way, and thus completed the 60th and final book for my 2019 reading challenge! Now I can stop hate-reading the idiotic Christmas romance that would otherwise have closed out my reading year.]… (plus d'informations)

Reread this and enjoyed it as much as first time. Realized I hadn't seen Rita Rudner on television in a long time...so I went and googled her and she is a busy lady and there are other books. None of the covers available for this book are the ones I have and all the dates are long after my copy.
Rudner is one of the most entertaining comics of all time. Her book reads like a stand-up act and is as funny, generous and interesting as one of her shows.
