‘A woman for all seasons, tender and tough in just the right proportions’
The New York Times
Two classic collections of uproarious essays from the late Nora Ephron, bestselling author of I Feel Bad About My Neck and I Remember Nothing. Here she tackles everything from feminism to the media, from politics to beauty products, with her inimitable charm and distinctive wit.
From her Academy Award-nominated screenplays (When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, Julie & Julia) to her bestselling fiction and essays, Nora Ephron, who died earlier this year, illuminated her era with wicked honesty and insight.
This collection brings together some of Ephron’s most famous writing on a generation of women (and men) who helped shape the way we live now, and on significant modern-day events. In these sharp, hilariously entertaining and vividly observed essays, from the famous ‘A Few Words About Breasts’ to important pieces on her time working for newspapers and magazines, this is Ephron at her very best.
Crazy Salad Scribble Scribble An Omnibus edition by Nora Ephron Literature Fiction eBooks
This is an anthology of essays written and published in the 1960s through maybe 1978 or so. It's pretty dated. Most of the essays are lacking in Ephron's notable sense of humor, and many are about forgotten and forgettable people and events. Yes, she's an excellent writer, but this anthology did not really hold my interest. It worked pretty well to read an essay or two in bed when I was trying to fall asleep. I made a point to finish it today, mainly because I was tired of seeing it pop up on My "currently reading" shelf in Goodreads, and being asked to "update my progress" every time I opened the Goodreads app.My favorite was her essay about Gourmet magazine.

Crazy Salad Scribble Scribble An Omnibus edition by Nora Ephron Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Even though I do not always agree with Ephron and it is outdated (as she often writes on topical subjects) her writing is so crisp and cleat that one can only learn from it. She can put a person right back in Nixon years and they can feel it.
Her piece on gender-reassignment as being an instigator of gender stereotypes (reJan Morris) was fascinating and put to words what I have been trying to say for years.
Great book, lots of fun.
Enjoyed the review of women in history as well as the essays about certain moments in time with the humor
I love Nora and have read most of her books, etal. I gave it one extra star because it was Nora. Some of the stories just didn't read well for me, but the ones that did, made it worth reading. She's no longer here, and that's the saddest part of all.
Witty, perspicacious, charming. Ephron delights with essays/columns on the volatile and turbulent 70s era. Her caustic wry humor is wonderfully entertaining. To me a brilliant and sharp intellect, my kind of journalist. Particularly moved by the Bob Haldeman and CBS essay so like today’s White House!
A woman who tells you how things are and makes you laugh at the same time. You feel alive, real, and here.
Nora Ephron was one of the most insightful and humorous writers I have ever read. Her "I Hate my Neck" and "I Can't
Remember Anything" caused me to laugh out loud in so many sections. This, however, was simply a compilation of things she wrote in her other books with comments by others people (writers, editors, etc) about it. Go for the gusto and read everything she ever wrote instead of these short snippits.
I have been thinking about Nora Ephron ever since I saw her on an interview program, and then when she died. The relation of telling all, so to speak, and hiding one's deepest worries is a study and I am in the midst of it. As to this collection I like it. The style is both run on, one's top thoughts, and then a dip into the hidden feelings--all told with a careful choice of language and a sense of humor which carries her forth in times of distress in her life. I think her judgment of politicians and news reporters is refreshingly accurate, and I wish she could find more to admire--like Russell Baker, for instance. On the other hand, the news business or the press state of mind got a going over for its own good and I for one, am very glad of that. Nora Ephron enjoys her contempt for her fellow journalists, and at the same time feels important being one of them. Its a hard road to travel. Her circle of friends and associates did not include the large portion of the 98% and I wish it had. I learned from the philosophy Aesthetic Realism that one has to really like the world in order to want to fully express oneself in it or to it, and I wish Nora Ephron had been able to learn that, or feel that. She delighted many people with her perceptions, and I wish there could have even been more.
This is an anthology of essays written and published in the 1960s through maybe 1978 or so. It's pretty dated. Most of the essays are lacking in Ephron's notable sense of humor, and many are about forgotten and forgettable people and events. Yes, she's an excellent writer, but this anthology did not really hold my interest. It worked pretty well to read an essay or two in bed when I was trying to fall asleep. I made a point to finish it today, mainly because I was tired of seeing it pop up on My "currently reading" shelf in Goodreads, and being asked to "update my progress" every time I opened the Goodreads app.
