Spent a lot of time at the beach in my teen and early 20's.  Much enjoyed the nostalgia of this book.  Not the Jersey shore of the 60 and 70'sut fun.

After reading Eat Pray LOVE I already felt like I read this book but, it also made myself realize I am pretty independent young woman in her twentys. I don't want to say I gave  up on relationships. I am just living my life, having guy friends . The activities are fun to do in a notebook that you can look back .

I'd recommend this song by Stylistics. I like it a lot! It brings back memories of my younger years. Nostalgic!

Makes me think back to growing up, which can be a good thing :)

It sort of reminded me of my childhood in Germany.  The descriptions were so real, what was called the blue in-between-seasons coat of Frau Hoffmann.  The huge American cars that could no make it through some of the narrow streets of the town.  My boyfriend at the time, now my husband of 40 years, had a 1970 Grand Prix that barely make it into our street without scraping the mirrors on either side.  A fun recollection of a time in the past with a little criminal twist.  I recommended it to my adult children to read.

I really enjoyed reading this book. Some parts of it were reminiscent of my own childhood, going on adventures and getting into trouble. It's a refreshing reminder of more simple times in life that I think are forgotten, but should still be embraced. The book definitely brought a constant warm smile to my face.

I'm a middle-aged grump who loved YA books when I was a kid and still enjoys reading good YA books every once in a while. I've also got young relatives applying to colleges, so the good reviews of this book made me willing to take a chance on it. I'm glad I did: I found the characters to be well fleshed out, the situations very real-feeling, the writing sometimes chuckle-out-loud funny, and the story interesting enough to pull me along despite the fact that I'm in a totally different place in life than are the characters.

This particular absurd moment in higher education is clearly different than when I was in college in the mid-'80s. The disfunction won't last forever (and who knows what will replace it?), but this book is going to make a terrific snapshot piece of the ridiculousness of these times. Right now, it provides thoughtful insights into the world of college applicants . . . along with a nice little story. Nice work, Mr. Williams!

Nice work from Joey Anuff, who simultaneously reminds me of the good times when I thought I was going to retire young and happy and of the idiocy of even beginning to think that way.
It is a good read for anyone who first started trading or buying shares around 1998. At that time I tried to learn a lot about the market etc, etc because I was told that was how to secure my future. But the reality was a little farther from the truth.
Joey's trip along the Day Trader journey, and the weirdoes he finds along the way may remind you of the same thing.
Happy living!

This book reminded me of being young and that massive feeling of anythings possible that you feel in your early twenties.  Life is just starting and your mind is wide open to experiences.  Ive never lived in New York but having read this book, I feel like I have been.  At least my mind has traveled there.

This book is NOT about Salinger.  This is not bad or good, but it just is what it is.  It appears to me that it was a way to garner interest.  Perhaps the authors years in the publishing world served her well because I know few people in the reading blog world that are not talking about this, reading this or discussing this book.  So that aspect has worked in her favor.  However, I was glad it wasn't about Salinger because quite frankly Im not a fan of that recluse.

I really found her workplace to be divinely interesting and comically entertaining.

The lesser known retro titles from some of the songs were refreshing. While the others reminded me of fond memories.

A recollection of life in an older time and place. Very entertaining and memory jogging for older folks like me, and enlightening for younger ones.
I was amazed at how similar the customs and language were to my time and place.  I thoroughly enjoyed having my memory jogged and can certainly see why those times have been called "the good old days."  Yes, those times were sometimes hard but family life was so much more important and even necessary back then.  It sad how technology has taken away the social closeness that we felt then.  To see so many totally involved with smart phones, and blackberries that they don't seem to see each other anymore even when together is really sad. I much prefer playing rummy, or go fishing, or monopoly with a friend or sibling to punching little buttons and ignoring my  surroundings or companions.........

There were concepts that I hadn't given much thought to as well as some that were familiar. Although a few parts felt repetitive it wasn't overwhelming enough to keep me from finishing. As a 23-year old who felt pretty stuck, this book has been a great restart for me. It made me examine my current values and call myself out on my destructive ways, things I kept avoiding. Where a lot of self-help books focus on the positive, this one approaches problems in a somewhat opposite manner. Even with a forgetful mind like mine the lessons have stuck.

This book brought back nice memories of experiences any person would have in his/her daily life. We rarely stop to ponder about them but it motivated me to stop, think and enjoy them in the normal fast paced life. Well articulated ... Looking forward to the next book from the author..

Reminded me of the time I spent with Revlon.

This album reminds me of my teenage years, and how it helped me through the rough times. Plus, it made me think how some of the lyrics are kind of leading to suicidal.
