Kathy Lette's top 10 books to read when you hit 40
"My mother always told me that beauty comes from within. Yeah,
right - from within a jar marked 'Estee Lauder'. While it may seem
that beauty is one of the most lovely and natural things money can
buy, resist! The truth is, a woman is much more beautiful if she
reads a book now and then."
Kathy Lette's latest novel is Nip 'n' Tuck, a 'shopping and tucking'
tale of hitting 40 and suddenly having to deal with ageing, silicone
and Husband Uncertainty Syndrome.
1. The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
There's an incurable disease afflicting females - ageing. Men, on the
other hand, never pass their amuse-by dates. Sean Connery is still
cutting the sex god mustard and, if time flies, then HE has frequent
air miles. Yet, you never hear a man described as mutton dressed as
ram, now do you? This is a book about a bloke who
realises that the night is young, but he is not...
:)
2. The Kama Sutra by Vatsysyana
Because a woman reaches her sexual prime at 40.
XD
3. The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway
Which suggests that recreational fishing in advanced age can be
quite exciting.
อันนี้ลงไปขำกลิ้งอยู่กับพื้น
4. 'Ithaca' in Collected Poems by Cavafy
Go on, pluck your highbrows! It's a good look on a girl.
มะรู้จัก แต่ดูจากชื่อบทก็พอจะเดาอะไรได้รางๆ
5. The Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger
To remind yourself how truly bloody awful it is being a teenager.
อันนี้ขำหึๆ ช่างคิดไปได้
6. The Summer of a Dormouse by John Mortimer
Proving that every cloud has a silver-haired lining. And that the best
part of us is grey - the grey matter between our ears. It's the only
truly unique part of our bodies.
เื่รื่องนี้ก็มะรู้จัก
7. Crimes against Humanity by Geoffrey Robertson
Because despots' atrocities do tend to put a fear of wrinkles into
perspective. It's good to remember that growing old is quite okay,
when you consider the alternative.
นึกอยู่พักใหญ่ กว่าจะขำก๊ากกับประโยคสุดท้าย
8. Hedda Gabler by Henrik Ibsen
Who kills herself, rather than enjoy another day with her adoring,
dim-witted husband. Life in the suburbs can be tough on some
women, although on the whole it's wise to avoid the Sylvia
Plath/Hedder Gabler approach to life. Nothing really disturbs kids as
much as coming home to a note on the table that reads "Your
mother's in the oven."
^__^'
9. A Transatlantic Love Affair: Letters to Nelson Algren by Simone de Beauvoir
Though time is a great healer, it sure ain't no beauty therapist. But a
toy boy, it seems, is much more rejuvenating than a face cream.
กี๊ซซซซ
10. One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Which shows that age is a state of mind over matter - if you don't
mind, it don't matter.
555
Oh, and...
... almost anything by Alan Bennett, who seems to have been a
woman of late middle years since he was 20.
ตานี่ชื่อคุ้นๆ แต่นึกไม่ออก
