Try and trap a turning point in your life in a sentence. Make it sound cool. Or try to. Make sure you write it down. Unless you’re famous already, or you’ve broken your nose on a DJ speaker, I can guarantee that it’s not as interesting as, or as entertaining as A Book of Ages . Author Eric Hanson has chronicled the witty and ironic moments of famous lives. Triumphs, failures, revealing anecdotes, odd incidents, crossed paths, missed chances, early and late masterpieces, mid-life crises and reinventions, great partnerships, changes of heart and changes of mind. All organised by year of age.
Buy two copies. One for you, and one to give to someone who you think will truly appreciate it, dog-ear the corners, spill tea on it and avoid putting it on the coffee table with all those other books they don’t read. Check out a small selection of moments below.
