Book Synopsis Ramblings of a Baby Boomer by : Norman Burt
Download or read book Ramblings of a Baby Boomer written by Norman Burt and published by . This book was released on 2010-07 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With hardly a nod to chronology, The author moves back and forth through the first twenty years of his life, from trams, horses and valve wirelesses to scooters, cars and rock and roll, boozy coach trips To The seaside, youth clubs and Carnaby Street fashions. The book is about not being very special at a very special time, An ordinary life during extraordinary times, The bombs had finished falling on London some two years before the author was born and so he entered a world where the sky was the limit And The journey was exciting, though cockroaches and smogs had to be dealt with first. Hand built bicycles and soapcarts made way for Vespa's and Lambretta's while grey flannel shorts and long socks lost out to 60's fashions of flairs and tank tops. A camping holiday and holiday camps, boozing and parties, girls And The lack of them, voyeurism, The cold war And The not so cold war, all of these played a part in life and so deserve a mention in the book. One mans life, humourous and unique, no two lives are the same so this one deserves to be told.

Download or read book Boomers written by Helen Andrews and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-01-12 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Baby Boomers (and I confess I am one): prepare to squirm and shake your increasingly arthritic little fists. For here comes essayist Helen Andrews."--Terry Castle With two recessions and a botched pandemic under their belt, the Boomers are their children's favorite punching bag. But is the hatred justified? Is the destruction left in their wake their fault or simply the luck of the generational draw? In Boomers, essayist Helen Andrews addresses the Boomer legacy with scrupulous fairness and biting wit. Following the model of Lytton Strachey's Eminent Victorians, she profiles six of the Boomers' brightest and best. She shows how Steve Jobs tried to liberate everyone's inner rebel but unleashed our stultifying digital world of social media and the gig economy. How Aaron Sorkin played pied piper to a generation of idealistic wonks. How Camille Paglia corrupted academia while trying to save it. How Jeffrey Sachs, Al Sharpton, and Sonya Sotomayor wanted to empower the oppressed but ended up empowering new oppressors. Ranging far beyond the usual Beatles and Bill Clinton clichés, Andrews shows how these six Boomers' effect on the world has been tragically and often ironically contrary to their intentions. She reveals the essence of Boomerness: they tried to liberate us, and instead of freedom they left behind chaos.

Download or read book Fierce with Age written by Carol Orsborn and published by Turner Publishing Company. This book was released on 2013-05-07 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her breakthrough generational memoir, Boomer expert Carol Orsborn relates the ups and downs of a tumultuous year spent facing, busting, and ultimately triumphing over the stereotypes of growing old. Along the way, she nurtures a love-starved friend through a doomed affair with a younger man, wrestles with the meaning of an exploding fish, and regains her passion for life at the side of her squirrel-crazed dog, Lucky. The message is as deep as it is engaging. In Carol’s own words, “Plummet into aging, stare mortality in the eye, surrender everything and what else is there left to fear? The way is perilous, danger on all sides. But we can be part of a generation no longer afraid of age. We are becoming, instead, a generation fierce with age.”
Book Synopsis Decorating a Room of One's Own by : Susan Harlan
Download or read book Decorating a Room of One's Own written by Susan Harlan and published by ABRAMS. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What would Little Women be without the charms of the March family’s cozy New England home? Or Wuthering Heights without the ghost-infested Wuthering Heights? Getting lost in the setting of a good book can be half the pleasure of reading, and Decorating a Room of One’s Own brings literary backdrops to the foreground in this wryly affectionate satire of interior design reporting. English professor and humorist Susan Harlan spoofs decorating culture by reimagining its subject as famous fictional homes and “interviews” the residents who reveal their true tastes: Lady Macbeth’s favorite room in the castle, or the design inspiration behind Jay Gatsby’s McMansion of unfulfilled dreams. Featuring 30 entries of notable dwellings, sidebars such as “Setting Up an Ideal Governess’s Room,” and four-color spot illustrations throughout, Decorating a Room of One’s Own is the ideal book for readers who appreciate fine literature and a good end table.

Download or read book The Boomers written by Michael Macari and published by Christine F.\Anderson#publishing & Media. This book was released on 2014-10-04 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Beatles emerged on the world scene, a generation of musicians followed. Across America, millions of them created the soundtrack to their generation. "The Boomers" is the truer-than-fiction story of one band - five young men from the Northeast and the memorable characters who shared their journey towards the top in the late 1970s. They played alongside legends. Emblematic of their generation- The Baby Boomers- they helped define their times through the shared experiences of millions in pop music. "The Boomers" - often graphic and tense, often funny and human, is filled with recollections and stories of hope, triumph and tragedy. Facing their mid-life crisis' thirty years later, three "survivors" of the 70s music scene decide to reunite, and write music about their lives. In doing so, they are unprepared for what they encounter: decades-long angst and resentments that haunt their relationships- and their music. This, alongside unresolved tragedies they faced, and differing views of their past and its failures, they are forced to consider the meaning in life's great disappointments Their reconciliations bring about a renewal- not only of their relationships, but at the unexpected and untimely death of a bandmate, the realization of the brevity of life and the finality it holds. "The Boomers" is a must-read for everyone that lived through history's greatest popular culture revolution, and the times that bind.

Download or read book A Wonderful Stroke of Luck written by Ann Beattie and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Good Housekeeping Best Book of the Year "Every sentence shines with wit, originality, and sharp observations." --The Boston Globe A razor-sharp, deeply felt novel about the complicated relationship between a charismatic teacher and his students, and the secrets we keep from those we love At a boarding school in New Hampshire, Ben joins the honor society led by Pierre LaVerdere, an enigmatic, brilliant, yet perverse, teacher who instructs his students not only about how to reason, but how to prevaricate. As the years go by, LaVerdere's covert and overt instruction lingers in his students' lives as they seek some sense of purpose or meaning. When Ben feels the pace of his life accelerating and views his intimate relationships as less and less fulfilling, there seems to be a subtext he's not able to access. And what, really, did Bailey Academy teach him? While relationships with his stepmother and sister improve, and a move to upstate New York offers respite from his anxiety about love and work, LaVerdere's reappearance in his life disturbs his equilibrium. Everything he once thought he knew about his teacher--and himself--is called into question. Written by one of our most iconic writers, known for casting a cold eye on her generation's ambivalence and sometimes mistaken ambition, A Wonderful Stroke of Luck is a keenly observed psychological study of a man who alternates between careful driving and hazardous risk taking, as he struggles to incorporate his past into the vertiginous present.
Book Synopsis Hey Boomers, Dust Off Your Backpacks by : Linda J. Brown
Download or read book Hey Boomers, Dust Off Your Backpacks written by Linda J. Brown and published by . This book was released on 2008-08 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quite possibly the world's oldest solo around-the-world backpacker, Linda J. Brown spent a year traveling throughout Eastern Europe, Turkey, Egypt, India, Thailand, Hawaii and the United States, turning 68 along the way. She challenges leading edge Baby Boomers to reclaim their 1960's backpacking style - this time on Social Security. After thriving on a limited budget while traveling around the world, making her plans as she went, Linda J. Brown busts the myth that the world is a dangerous place by telling stories of the friends she made along the way and detailing how it feels to be pushing seventy while carrying an 85-litre backpack, sleeping in hostels, riding local buses and trains and getting herself around whole continents for a year....alone. She financed all of this simply by accessing her monthly Social Security payments with her debit card from ATMs worldwide. The sale of an old volkswagon paid for her 'round the world air tickets. She is already planning her next RTW trip throughout the Southern Hemisphere for 2009 when she will be age 71.
