Possibly the only drawback to the bestselling How to Be a Woman was that its author, Caitlin Moran, was limited to pretty much one subject-- being a woman. Moranthology is proof that Caitlin can actually be "quite chatty" about many other things, including cultural, social, and political issues that are usually the province of learned professors or hot-shot wonks-- and not of a woman who once, as an experiment, put a wasp in a jar and got it stoned. Caitlin ruminates on-- and sometimes interviews-- subjects as varied as caffeine, Keith Richards, Ghostbusters, Twitter, transsexuals, the welfare state, the royal wedding, Lady Gaga, and her own mortality, to name just a few.--P. [4] of cover.… (more)

I always enjoy Caitlin Moran but I guess because this book is ten years old it didn’t resonate quite so hard with me. I’m looking forward to catching up with her more recent books. ( )

Mostly super funny original takes on life. Completely relate-to-able. ( )

In the same tradition as Stephen Fry's 'Paperwieght' and dare I say it, just as utterly delightful. This is the delicious Moran, in all her colour, idealism and swashbuckling humour, served up in crisp, snacky snippets for the reader to dip into and savour whenever they please. A deeply educated soul, Caitlin Moran is an uplifting conversation and freindly leg-up for the mind. I am grateful, hooked and practically cheering with pom-poms for this gorgeous woman. ( )

Not quite as bombastic as 'How to be a Woman' (I think because this book is less a call to action than it is a picture of Moran's fuller character), but no less entertaining. The pieces range from poverty to Sherlock (lots of Sherlock) to the Royal Wedding to travel (or lack of travel). If you enjoy someone presenting you with her opinions in a conversational style, you'll probably like this book. ( )

More delightful musings from Caitlin Moran. Highlights for me were her nostalgic thoughts on vacationing in the same place (which, for her, is Aberswyth, Wales) every year, some pretty amazing celebrity interviews (Paul McCartney!), and the hilarious bedtime conversations with her husband interspersed throughout the book. Good stuff. Well worth a read! ( )
