    <body><![CDATA[Interesting story about this book: I read an excerpt in a major magazine that appeals to women over the age of 40 and I didn't get it. I readily admit that I was actually a bit appalled that they ran the article. Maybe that's due to the fact that this magazine regularly features serious articles on ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/80219637">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[<blockquote> <p> How to be cool when you're afraid you've forgotten how . . . </p> </blockquote> <p> Sure, you can try to stay younger by exercising, coloring your hair, and wearing stylish clothes—but how do you respond when someone asks, &quot;Do you Twitter?&quot; <em>How Not to Act Old</em> gives you simple ways to come back from over the hill and to act as young as you look. </p> <p> Covering everything from old-people entertainment (cancel that dinner party!) to old-people communication (it's called a &quot;voice mail,&quot; not a &quot;message,&quot; and no one leaves or listens to them anyway), Pamela Redmond Satran decodes the behaviors, viewpoints, and cultural touchstones that separate you from the hip young person you wish you still were. This irreverent guide is essential for anyone who doesn't want to embarrass their kids—or themselves. </p>]]>
