I Remember Nothing

and Other Reflections

By: Nora Ephron

Narrated by: Nora Ephron

Nora Ephron returns with her first audiobook since the astounding success of I Feel Bad About My Neck, taking a cool, 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.

Ephron writes about falling hard for a way of life (“Journalism: A Love Story”) and about breaking up even harder with the men in her life (“The D Word”); lists “Twenty-five Things People Have a Shocking Capacity to Be Surprised by Over and Over Again” (“There is no explaining the stock market but people try”; “Cary Grant was Jewish”; “Men cheat”); reveals the alarming 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”); and asks the age-old question, which came first, the chicken soup or the cold? All the while, she gives candid, edgy voice to everything women who have reached a certain age have been thinking . . . but rarely acknowledging.

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

Must read

Fact of life put in simple and funny words.
Touched on every stage of life
Exceeded expectation
I enjoyed listening to Nora's voice . Clear and never boring. I have favorite chapters .

A joy

This is such a great listen for me. I have enjoyed this more times than I can think. I am looking forward to her other books being added to my library. I will miss Ms Ephron and am looking forward to many years of enjoying her sharing her life experience.

Some essays more interesting than others

Nora Ephron is best known for her screenplays "When Harry Met Sally" and "Sleepless in Seattle." It's a collection of humorous essays of events throughout her life. Stories of her parents (both well-known playwrights and screenwriters) evoke nostalgic feelings of 1960s Hollywood. There is an assortment of topics she writes about, some more interesting than others.

Quick and uplifting

Just a simple delight. Enjoyable short stories from a classic author. I enjoyed the later stories more than the first one, the namesake to be honest. Still simple, fun read.
