More About the Author
Born in The City That Never Sleeps in the exact middle of the 20th Century. Had a watch that always ran 3 hours slow, so moved to LA. Authored a slew (slew=10)of silly little humor books. Live with my family in the cultural center of LA--the beach. Plus a million minor details.
I'm from a small town, College Point, New York. If you ever have only a year to live, go there, 'cause man, every day's like a frickin' eternity!
I wanted to be a juggler when I grew up, but my family never owned 3 of anything. As a kid I was made to walk the plank. We couldn't afford a dog. When I told everyone I wanted to be a humor writer, they all laughed. Well, they're not laughing now!!

Getting Old Sucks,
By Grace Zerbo (Central New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Getting Old Sucks (Paperback)
I think Ed Stnad has his finger on the pulse of us aging baby boomers. I laughed till I cried. The print was nice and large, made me feel young enough to read without glasses. Then I passed it around a nursing home and the residents there roared till they wet their pants. Plain and simple "Getting Old Sucks"

Wow, does this book hit the mark!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Getting Old Sucks (Paperback)
This is the second Ed Strnad book I've read (the first was the "Optimists/Pessimists Guide to the Millenium") and once again, this author has hit the mark. I would guess Ed is a baby-boomer peering over the age abyss and not liking what he's seeing. But he has such a funny way of encapsulating that stomach-churning feeling all of us boomers are feeling that I swear he's tapping our phones. I don't usually laugh out loud when I read a book, but this one had me guffawing on the bus -- and disturbing my fellow passengers. How could they know I was laughing at getting old!

Not Bad For An Old Timer,
By tobias mifflemarb (East Klinefeltersville) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Getting Old Sucks (Paperback)
I just bought a used copy of this book and I'm sure glad I did! Not only did I save a few bucks, but it's funny, too! So, listen, is this what it's really like to get old? It's scary. I may have to pull a Kurt Cobain. ha ha ha Anyway, Ed, if you're out there, good work. I'm going to spread the word.
