I read that book. He is a columnist, and I suspect the book is a collection of his entertaining columns, based on his own personal experiences and the unique crowd he moves in. This is abook about his own quirks and fears - he was only in his 50s when he wrote it. I'm 80 and I think the extreme and exaggerated traits he describes tell much more about him than about any of the people in their 70s and 80s I see every day at my Senior Center here in Rochester,Mn.

Good to hear your perspective on this book. I will read it with caution!

Thank you for your brief summary of the book! I think for the author to say what he won’t do when he reaches a certain age is very short sighted, since there are so many variables that will impact how he will age and what condition his health will be in. I physically feel a lot older than my actual 57 years because I had to fight leukemia 6 years ago. I think it’s better to take an approach that we should adjust and do the best we can as we age.
