A review by georgeeporge
On Being 40(ish): Fifteen Writers on the Prime of Their Lives by

reflective medium-paced

3.0

I haven't read many books of essays, so was enjoyable to read something different (particularly the unexpected illustrated essay!). Overall, I found the essays interesting and certainly confirmed my suspicions that turning 40 wouldn't bring the end of days. They also bought up subjects that, as someone in their mid 20s, I haven't paid much attention to, such as your own (and loved ones) mortality with health scares becoming nearly every day occurrences.

However, I'd love to learn from a more diverse background; geographically, culturally, financially. Another edition with those please!
