Title: Age Doesn't Matter Unless You're a Cheese by Kathryn Petras, Ross Petras ISBN: 0-7611-2518-3 Publisher: Workman Publishing Pub. Date: 01 March, 2002 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $8.95 |

Summary: Wise, Useful, and Entertaining
Comment: While this is not a mega-sized collection of quotes (just one quote per page) it IS an amazing selection of time-tested wisdom, humor, and experience. I collect quotations; and this book was an outstanding resource from that standpoint, since the preponderant majority of the quotes were "keepers." I have collected 20,000+ in a personal database over more than a decade (an odd hobby, some would say, but I guess I'm pretty easily amused). While a few of the quotes familiar to me, most were fresh and original, and the preponderant majority were "keepers." But you don't have to be a quotation collector to enjoy this book; if you're looking for inspiration, "words to live by," (from folks who have "been there,done that"), or if you just enjoy reading books that give you something to think about and more than a few chuckles along the way, I believe you will thoroughly enjoy it.

Summary: Words of Wisdom from People Who Have Lived
Comment: Every quote listed in this book comes from people who were over 70 years old at the time, so they know of whence they speak. This is a light read, but a truly enjoyable one. Turn to any page, and read sagacious advice on a variety of subjects, from well-known figures ranging from Julia Child to Golda Meir, and everywhere in between. This is a book that will be returned to again and again for its wit and wisdom. And, as we age, the words become more true to life. Age does not necessarily equal wisdom, but in the case of this collection, it certainly applies.
Rating: 5
Summary: Cheesed off, indeed! This is a good book.
Comment: This is a great book, not as funny as Age Sucks maybe, but it's not meant to be. In fact, I think they're good companions. "Cheese" is a much broader, wiser book, with many thoughtful things to ponder. Yes, some things made me laugh, but other things touched my heart and really made me think. The subtitle is wisdom of the elders and that's exactly right -- and this book is exactly right. Thank you, Ross and Kathryn.
