No! I Don't Want to Join a Bookclub - Virginia Ironside

 
Description: ISBN 0670916242 / Author: Virginia Ironside / Genre: Fiction / Certainly not! said Marie Sharp, when a friend suggests she join a bookclub when she turns sixty. Bookclub people always seem to have to wade through Captain Corelli's Mandolin or, groan, The God of Small Things. ... more
No! I Don't Want to Join a Bookclub - Virginia Ironside ... They feel they've forever got to poke their brain with a pointed stick to keep it working. But either you've got a lively brain or you haven't. And anyway, I don't want to be young and stimulated any more. Those oldies who spend their lives bicycling across Mongolia at eighty and para-gliding at ninety, aren't brilliant specimens of old age. No, they're just tragic failures who haven't come to terms with aging. I want to start doing old things, not young things. Too young to get whisked away by a Stannah Stairlift, or to enjoy the luxury of a Walk-In Bath (but not so much that she doesn't enjoy comfortable shoes), Marie, is all the same, getting on in years - and she's thrilled about it! She's a bit pre-occupied about whether to give up sex - Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! - but there are compensations, like falling in love all over again - but this time with her baby grandson, Gene. Curmudgeonly, acute, and funny, this fictionalised diary is what happens when grumpy old women meet Bridget Jones.
