Book of Ages 30
This year about four million people in the United States will turn 30. If you’re one of them, the bad news is that you’re older than 42 percent of Americans. You’ve already lost 10 percent of your muscle mass. And, on average, you’re almost $20,000 in debt. But don’t despair.

Book of Ages: 30 was a fairly entertaining little romp through the frightful and mysterious decade I'm just beginning. (Note: I am now older than 42 percent of all Americans.)

What I found most intriguing:
More people in their 30s own firearms than those in any other decade of their lives. ... 45% of thirtysomethings own a firearm.

There is not much to Book of Ages: 30, but that is beside the point of the book, which is to serve as an outline for helping you evaluate your first three decades on the planet. It is heartening in that it shows many examples of people that peaked after their thirties, and depressing in that it reminds you that your body has already peaked and is entering its slow decline into oblivion.

Started off good, but I didn't like the ending very much. They saved the depressing part for the end. The last chapter of the book is "Life Ends at 30"...I know depressing, huh?
Interesting to see where we place with other events that happened in the world....
