Crazy Salad: Some Things about Women by Nora Ephron

4.0

I was inspired to read this by Ariel Levy's recent New Yorker profile on Ephron. This has much more substance than her movies, or even her most recent book. Most of these essays were written just after I was born, so it's a useful historical perspective. A lot actually has improved. My copy is full of little post-it flags for things I will have to look up, or ask my mother about. On the other hand, probably none of the book's original readers knew why a Pillsbury Bake-Off contestant's speedy Hawaiian bread was called Wiki Coffee Cake....
