And so you've reached that time in life when you're stating to pick investments over adventure, clean over scenic, comfortable over intense; when, even though in your heart of hearts you're only seventeen, the rest of you is (how did it happen?) forty.<br> <br>The wise and witty lady of <i>It's Hard to Be Hip Over Thirty</i> is here to get you through these forty-ish years with poems that reflect our common shared experience. So let her help you take a look at that decade of sagging kneecaps and college reunions and fantasies of love in the afternoon: at Maoist kids, cholesterol counts, adult-education courses and other atrocities - which somehow just don't hurt so much when you laugh.<br> <br>A marvelous book filled with insight and warmth, <i>How Did I Get to Be 40 &amp; Other Atrocities</i> is Judith Viorst at her best.
