Well, even though I literally have 20 books on my to-read list, you sucked me in!  That sounds great, I bought it and will put it at least near the top of my list  !

I'm sure the book is great, and that Rick is a wonderful story teller, but am I the only person on the planet who thinks that "eternal youth" is a really hellish idea?

(More a commentary on the "younger is better" way of thinking than anything else. As you were.)

No, you're not the only one! I'm pretty fascinated with our culture and it's obsession though. I'm turning 30 this year, and while most people freak out about it, I'm actually looking forward to being out of my twenties. Weird? Yes.

lol, trust me, the idea grows on you.

Also, it beats the alternatives, which are
1. death, and
2. Finding a guy to paint your portrait so it ages and you stay young. Do you know how difficult it is to find a painter with that kind of skill? who also doesn't want to know if you've ever done nude modeling? Honestly. It's hardly worth googling names to try and find one.

Robin, you crack me up!

Really? haha ... I don't wanna leave my 20's! I still have a while

Part of my being excited to leave my twenties has to do with hoping that I might stop being called a 'kid' at work. After being here for 8 years it's pretty irritating, especially since I know more than half of the people calling me that. Hopefully once I'm 30 that will go away! Plus I feel smarter with every year I get older. Now, once I get to my 40's I might be singing a different tune....but for now, I'm quite okay with turning 30 in 9 months. Weird year - getting married, and turning 30....I guess I really am 'growing up'.
