No current Talk conversations about this book. #186: Don't read this book, or if you do read this book, don't admit it, or if you do admit it, don't take all its suggestions slavishly. #96, "Torch Your Books," is obviously crazy talk. Thinking for yourself will never be old. Of course, only the old can truly appreciate this book... it had me laughing at loud as I read caricatures of behaviours and tongue-in-cheek advice on how to interpret and adapt to today's youth. Redman Satran makes no bones about this being her observations and "studies", yet they are incisive, hilarious (if not a bit cynical) and very complete - no topic is too taboo or unfashionable. My favourites : tattoos for the old and uncool ways to die. A great read to put your worries into perspective! no reviews | add a review
How to be cool when you're afraid you've forgotten how . . . Sure, you can try to stay younger by exercising, coloring your hair, and wearing stylish clothes--but how do you respond when someone asks, "Do you Twitter?" How Not to Act Old gives you simple ways to come back from over the hill and to act as young as you look. Covering everything from old-people entertainment (cancel that dinner party!) to old-people communication (it's called a "voice mail," not a "message," and no one leaves or listens to them anyway), Pamela Redmond Satran decodes the behaviors, viewpoints, and cultural touchstones that separate you from the hip young person you wish you still were. This irreverent guide is essential for anyone who doesn't want to embarrass their kids--or themselves. No library descriptions found. |
