Of all calendar years, 2011 has seen the most action, the most highs and lows, the most losses and successes. I'm thankful for all the life experience and thicker skin and strength and tenderness, but I'm pretty happy to chuck the day-by-day reminders of every twist and turn.
On another note, book review time!
I'm obsessed.

| Then Again by Diane Keaton |
There are some books you want to read slowly so they don't end, but you can't help yourself because they're so good! To me, this is one of those books. I limit myself to tiny morsels every night.
It's part- her mother's journal entries, part- her own writing. She's so unabashedly honest, and I admire her for that. She writes very candidly about how much she loved and still loves Woody Allen.

I've pretty much decided to take the Diane Keaton approach to life until otherwise inclined. She's been a bachelorette her entire life and then adopted kids at age 50. She clearly loved immensely and has had an amazing, adventurous, fulfilled, love-filled life. She's so eccentric and esteemed for her eccentricities.
I hope she writes a sequel. And I'm definitely watching Something's Gotta Give tonight.
I've always had a soft spot for Diane Keaton... and Diane Lane. This book sounds wonderful! I may just need to add it to my Christmas list (or look for it the next time I go to the thrift store). :)
