Oh, Shirley! Shirley MacLaine. I have loved her like a third grandma for so long, and it's hard to be critical.

I loved the premise of this book--a bunch of short essays about what she doesn't care about anymore now that she's in her crone years, and things that she still cares passionately about. A nice taking stock of values, from someone who has truly been an independent spirit in many ways.

Some of the essays have more impact than others, some seem pretty tossed-off. If this had been more painstakingly edited, it would have made for smoother reading, but probably not long enough for a whole book. A cute all-in-one-sitting read, maybe for air travel.
