I Remember Nothing

And Other Reflections

By: Nora Ephron

Narrated by: Nora Ephron

Length: 3 hrs and 7 mins

Publisher's summary

Nora Ephron returns with her first book since the astounding success of I Feel Bad About My Neck, taking a cold, hard, hilarious look at the past, the present, and the future, bemoaning the vicissitudes of modern life, and recalling with her signature clarity and wisdom everything she hasn’t (yet) forgotten.

Even as she’s listing “What I Won’t Miss” and “What I Will Miss” - making the final tally - Ephron reaches back to recount falling hard for a way of life (“Journalism: A Love Story”) and breaking up even harder with the men in her life (“The D Word”), a long-anticipated inheritance with entirely unanticipated results (“My Life as an Heiress”), and the evolution, a decade after she wrote and directed You’ve Got Mail, of her relationship with her in-box (“The Six Stages of E- mail”). All the while, she gives candid, charming voice to everything women who have reached a certain age have been thinking... but have rarely acknowledged.

Filled with insights and observations that instantly ring true - and could have come only from Nora Ephron - I Remember Nothing is a pure delight.

Lovely

Any additional comments?

I really like Nora Ephron and was genuinely upset when she passed away.
Her writing style is so sharp and clever, but also poignant with a hint of sadness.

I listened to this as an Audible.com audio book narrated by the author which I really enjoyed. I think wherever possible the author should narrate, especially in cases of essays and memoirs, it just makes the experience more genuine and touching.

This was particularly touching as she discussed aging, disease, divorce and death and shared her thoughts on how they impacted her life and her self image. She still managed to make it fun though, which is something I love Nora for.

Wonderful read

I love Nora Ephron. Particularly her musings on daily life. She makes me laugh and she makes me sad in a 'this is life' sort of way. Highly recommend.

Became a Memoir....

There are moments of this book that bring laughter, revive random memories, and contain thoughts that ring so true in my own life now that I am 'older'.

Nora

I love her books and her voice. Who else could read her words with the beat she naturally has?
I was sad to hear of her passing, but will enjoy reading her works over again. She has explained how I feel about Aruba, my neck and “What’s your name?”

Hilarious

Maybe because I am now "oldish" I love Nora's perspective and sense of humor. I do, however think that I would have thought this book funny in my youth. I just would not have fully understood or appreciated it quite as much.
Love this book!

bullseye

I enjoyed every moment, and, because I also remember nothing, have had the pleasure of enjoying in over and over like it was the first time. Funny, self-deprecating, and full of sharply drawn remembrances of her remarkable career, as well as the back stories that make it seem like you've just had the most delightful chat with an old friend.

It's Nora herself

this was short but funny. I watched a documentary about her and I was intrigued. I think I would have liked her in person. This audiobook is more like an organized set of loosely related essays about Nora's life, quirks and random rants. I enjoyed it.

Relatable, Funny, Interesting & Honest!

Listening to this book was a much needed distraction from so much bad news constantly coming our way. It helps to balance all that heaviness with Nora’s unique and honest storytelling and humor. This book was just what I needed to lighten my load. Made me miss Nora’s magical talents. There will never be another Nora!

Meh.

Kind of whiny & boring. Just tedious to get through it. Couldn't finish entirely, yawn.

Brilliant, once again

I Loved every word. It was like a visit for tea with a dear friend.
