I thought this books was about turning 40. And while it was, it really wasn't.

4.0

Short and sweet. The paintings and sketches didn't show up well on kindle but otherwise a good little anthology, all themed around 40.

My favourite pieces were:
Forty Below by Patience Agbabi.
Forty by Ruth Ozeki.
Forty minutes by Geoff Dyer.
My Fortieth Birthday by Karl Pilkington.
At Forty by Ben Brooks.
Australia was a Funny Place by Michel Faber.
The Forty Hour Work Week by Oliver Burkeman.
