Two comments: 1) Try Goodreads.com too. 2) Found Not Becoming My Mother a total bore. It's a great intro essay into feminism if you've never read any Friedan, but otherwise unnecessary.
Sweet! I'll check it out, but worry I'll never give my kids face time again.
Yeah, Not Becoming My Mother is not Reichl's best. Read Tender At The Bone or Garlic & Sapphires. Both of those stand on their own and are very fun reads. As a former NY-er, I think you'd appreciate G&S. This covers her stint as the NYTimes Food Editor. She goes undercover frequently. I'm talking wigs. Very amusing.
