Doesn't much matter which of those 557 pages fall open. Wherever you land you should find a good read. Here's a sampling: There's Nora, the thrice married New Yorker daughter of Hollywood screenwriters. Nora of 1960's Newsweek, when the only jobs open to women were in the mailroom. Nora, the New York Post journalist, novelist, filmmaker and playwright. Nora sitting around with Rob Reiner dithering with improving the script of "When Harry Met Sally." Nora settling scores with her unfaithful second husband in "Heartburn," the book that became a Meryl Streep movie. Nora as writer/director of "You've Got Mail" and "Sleepless in Seattle." Nora, the foodie, on having people to dinner and life in the land of the egg-white omelette. And the Nora who knew early on who Deep Throat was, but nobody believed her. Nora and her profiles of Helen Gurley Brown, Julie Nixon Eisenhower and other well known women. Nora on life in the Google years. Nora on the "O" word and remembering nothing. Nora's script of "Lucky Guy," her 2-act play that ran on Broadway, starring Tom Hanks, in 2013. Nora's "Story of My Life in 3,500 Words or Less" and two one-page lists of "What I Won't Miss" and "What I Will Miss." Nora Ephron died of leukemia at 71 in June, 2012.

I love Nora and everything she has written! To have it all in one beautiful volume is a gift. Her whit and intelligence in her writing is unmatched. I laugh out loud at her musings and find myself missing her voice in the world. A great gift for any reader.

I actually purchased the book for a friend who has enjoyed Nora’s works. I was figuring on more of her written works, but a good portion of the book told about her experiences in the work world. There were also excerpts from her writings. I read the most of it before passing it on and found it interesting.

A compendium of so much of Nora Ephron's best. No one melds laugh-out-loud funny and great wisdom like her.

As you’d expect from Nora Ephron, this is a witty book. I bought a copy for myself and a second one to give away. It’s delightful!

Nora Ephron is a legend. We all know it. We've all read her books and seen her movies. This book is great, but it's too big/heavy to read in bed. Sorta disappointed. But I still love Nora Ephron.

A collection of Nora Ephron's writings is the perfect antidote to life's trials and tribulations. Sharp, witty and deserving of many return visits

It is the summer of 2020, and we need to laugh, don't we? At the end of June, I started to do some investigation on Nora Ephron, and I have always loved her fantastic prose and her movies. I have been laughing as I have generally been reading all of her printed materials from this book and from her recent books that I can get my hands on. In regards to Nora Ephron's passing in December of 2012, what a loss and what a prolific author and personality she was! Sadly passing at just 71 years old.In my research, I discovered this fantastic anthology of her incredible works, plays, screenplays, and I had to have it for my Ephron collection. I wanted to know more about this tremendous international author and personality, and by being male, I've learned so much about "purse shopping, lipstick and beauty products" and Nora's self-hatred about "her neck." If you are a "foodie" such as my wife Elaine and I, both are, you'll love this book as, after her many articles, Nora gives you actual recipes to try out!If you've read any of Nora's books, you can't escape reading one book, one article, one essay or short story and not have many moments of laughter or feeling a definite smile on your face! I need this book post-COVID, I'm laughing as much as I can. Buy this wonder Ephron medicine and book, that is keeping me sane, for my summer 2020 reading choices.

Nora Ephron was one of the funniest writers around. The world is less funny without her in it.A good compliation of her work.
