Anna Quindlen tells the reader up front that she is a novelist. She says she is not a scholar or ethicist or philosopher. Anna does not claim to be highly educated. She writes about what she knows, human nature and real life.  Anna's favorite bit of advice is a quote from John Lennon. "Life is what happens to you when you are busy making other plans." Another bit of her sage advice. "Get a Life" Live like there is no tomorrow. Pay attention to the little things. Don't take life for granted. Anne assures the reader that this is not a dress rehearsal; this is the real thing. Appreciate every moment of it.  Sprinkled among these wonderful and sometimes deep thoughts are splendid and mood making black and white photographs. Photos of people enjoying life to its fullest. Walking on the beach, building sand castles or just taking a snooze with the Sunday paper over your face.

I think this book would make a wonderful gift. There is so much wisdom in this tiny little book.
