I Remember Nothing

I Remember Nothing: And Other Reflections by Nora Ephron, 137 pages

Two years before she died, screenwriter/journalist/director Nora Ephron published this collection of essays discussing her fading memory, divorce, and a favorite family legend, among other things. The book is sharp, funny, and everything you'd expect from the woman who wrote When Harry Met Sally. My favorites were "My Life as an Heiress" and "My Life as a Meatloaf," which makes it seem like I like those stories because of their name, but that's not it at all. They're just excellent tales, masterfully told. I also recommend listening to the audiobook, which Ephron reads herself.
