Golden Years My Ass: Adventures in Geriatric Indignity Review

Golden Years My Ass: Adventures in Geriatric Indignity
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This book should be called Geriatric Senility. It is the most incoherent mess imaginable. I'll admit, I'm no big fan of Roger Welsch books, but I thought this one might be better. It isn't. It's just a bunch of unrelated stories with the only tie in being Welsch's constant complaining about being an old geezer. Sorry, but this book just doesn't cut it.
Edit: I'm going to add something so people know just how gross this book is. Roger writes about going to the doctor, and the doctor inserted his big fingers into Roger's rectum. I found it disgusting.

Roger Welsch's humorous take on his hahahaha Golden Years, a subject in which he now considers himself an expert. Portions of this book have been shared with friends facing medical problems and have each and every one found the humor encouraging and heartening. Anyone who is thinking about getting older will profit from a reading of this book. . .and of course anyone who is pretty much giving up might find something here that would change his mind. You can get old and complain, or get old and laugh; the choice is yours, and this volume gives you that choice.

Miraculous Air: Journey of a Thousand Miles Through Baja California, the Other Mexico Review

God, what a read! Like a novel, almost, full of surprises and little historical bits that will enrich your visit to Baja beyond measure... it was my first visit to Mexico, in 1957, and reading this book takes me back to my childhood visions of a place where the air is miraculous, the sand clean and white, the people like brothers and sisters. Read this book in the teeth of winter, to survive the snowbound months. And if you want to give someone a gift when they're Baja-bound, give them this book. Truly a miraculous treasure.

This exquisite book is a rare jewel in the literature of Mexico and its little-known peninsula, Baja. Describing her adventures on this austere and beautiful slip of land, C. M. Mayo creates a multi-layered map of place filled with daredevil aviators, sea turtle researchers, Stone Age cave painters, and countless other colorful characters. Covering Baja from Cabo San Lucas to Tijuana, Mayo's wit and curiosity help her weave a story that seamlessly combines history, myth, art, and local color.
