If Life is a Bowl of Cherries, What Am I Doing in the Pits? Audiobook

" Everyone should have an Erma Bombeck in their lives.... "

" How can we have EVERYTHING as we do in America, and still be so depressed and downtrodden? Although these are older books, they are still very pertinent today. Besides getting a laugh, you will love her in your face style which questions just what we as women should find important. "

" If you love laughter , this is and other of Erma Bombecks books are great. "

" Thirty years after first reading this, I can still reread and laugh. What a gift Erma Bombeck had for the understated phrase that puts us in the middle of her life and makes it feel like our own. "

" I read this for a book club, I don't know if I would have ever picked it up otherwise- mainly because I thought the material would be outdated. But I actually found myself really relating to Erma and her hysterical outtakes of motherhood, husbandry, and basic household chores...I found myself laughing right outloud! In one chapter she gives specific instructions to her children on how the dirty clothes hamper works, which CRACKED me up! There were a couple of chapters that left me unsure of the specific events related to the 70's, because back in the day I wasn't concerned with meat prices, etc. But what a funny lady she was & wow- what a great way to look at life! "

" My first favorite book. The best. "

" "...every time I turn around a new research study is taking away something that has added to my pleasure in the past, but is bound to make me sick in the future." "

" I went through an intense Erma Bombeck phase when I was twelve. "

" All her books are the same, I'm afraid. I never did think she was very funny, though I tried to read several. Does anyone read her any more? "

" pretty dated stuff, but clasically funny nonetheless. "

" I read all of her books I oculd get my hands on when I was about 14. I had just come to realize that a bad situation can actually be pretty funny, and much easier to deal with if you thought so! "

" Another really good book my erma bombck, she always makes me laugh : ) "

" This is one lady I really miss!!! I have read all of her books and probably 3 times each! You don't get funnier, more real, and more touching then her stories. It makes you feel like you are hearing the confidences and real life fiascos of your best girl friend! "

" it was the only thing i could find at grandma's but i'm glad i did. "

" Really like Erma dry sense of humor! A fun read. "

" Loved it!!! She never fails to make me smile!! "

" In the mid 80s I found a copy of this book at laundro-mat in Twenty-nine Palms, California. I knew nothing of "Housewife Humor", but I remember laughing hysterically at the book. I didn't have a husband or a marriage or even a period, but the book somehow resonated with me. "

" Awesome read, I never laughed so hard in my life! "

" Read this in 1978 or so. "

" One of the funniest, thoughtful books I had ever read. I've read it several more times over the years as I have gotten older and I appreciate more and more each time. "

" Even though these are dated there is a humor in all Erma Bombeck books that will never cease to make me laugh. "

" This was my first Erma Bombeck book and I love this funny, funny lady. "

" Sometimes you just need to read something that makes you laugh. Laughter can be great therapy, right? This book is a great option if you are looking for that kind of release in your life. Read and laugh and be happy. :) "

" She could make anything funny. "

" Probably no one reads Erma Bombeck these days, but once upon a time she was ubiquitous. Would-be bloggers of home life would do well to study her brief and well-crafted essays. "

" great hilarious read! anything by this now deceased author is recommended! "

" Someone asked me why I love her so much when she wrote all of these even before I learned how to read (some even before I was born). I just find her really hilarious. The first Erma Bombeck book I read. After this I was hooked! "

" Erma Brombeck was just real, know what I mean? Life as it really is. "

" erma is just so cute. er was... "

" How can we have EVERYTHING as we do in America, and still be so depressed and downtrodden? Although these are older books, they are still very pertinent today. Besides getting a laugh, you will love her in your face style which questions just what we as women should find important. "

" I thought that this book was funny when I had read it as a teen. I think that I was a weird kid sometimes... "

" This was my favorite book when I was about 12 or 13. It had so many dog ears that I could have submitted it as an origami project for my 7th-grade art class. :-) "

" this was a great book when i read it thirty years ago. funny. irma bombeck was a prize at helping to see the funny side of mundane life. "

" Classic witty humor by Erma Bombeck. Bombeck touches on marriage,family, travel,employment, children and motherhood with her funny tales of day to day life in amusing and clever stories. A quick light read that will put a smile to your face. "

" Very clever and humorous and sometimes poignant--I learned that many famous women didn't get started until later in life. "

" I absolutely loved Erma Bombeck. I wish she could have lived longer and published more books. Her brand of humor can give everyone an uplift. "

" Who is I dunno is amazing. Everyone should read this book. it makes all of us crazy women realize we're okay. It also makes us see the humor in the horror that is sometimes motherhood. "

" Classic book from my Gram. I bet this book has been in these hands of mine so many times. Good tales from the older generation on how to live with a simple, yet witty sense of humour. "

" The humor doesn't age well. It just wasn't that funny. "

" considering this book was written in 1985....it is still very much up to date when it comes to some of the questioning about life Bombeck asks....it is a good read...i recommend the book "
