Blending literature and memoir, Ann Patchett, author of State of Wonder and Bel Canto examines her deepest commitments: to writing, family, friends, dogs, books, and her husband in This Is the Story of a Happy Marriage. Together, these essays, previously published in The Atlantic, Harper, Vogue, and The Washington Post, form a resonant portrait of a life lived with loyalty and with love.

I have no idea what Ann Patchett is like in person. But in her essays, she's a wonderful, thoughtful, insightful companion.

Daniel Klein journeys to the Greek island Hydra to discover the secrets of aging happily. Drawing on the lives of his Greek friends, as well as philosophers ranging from Epicurus to Sartre, Klein learns to appreciate old age as a distinct and extraordinarily valuable stage of life. He uncovers simple pleasures that are uniquely available late in life, as well as headier pleasures that only a mature mind can fully appreciate.

Any additional comments?
The author advocates an old age filled with play, set apart from the stresses of a "commercial" approach to work. Fair enough. But a philosophy book worth reading actually takes hard work and careful thought to produce. He declined to undertake either of these. The result is a mess.
