As Ian Brown's 60th birthday loomed, every moment seemed to present a choice: confront or deny the biological fact that the end was now closer than the beginning. True, he was beginning to notice memory lapses, creaking knees, and a certain social invisibility - and yet it troubled him that many people think of 60 as "old", because he rarely felt older than he had at 40.

Few Redeeming Qualities
Reviewed: 11-08-17
This is a dark and depressing look into the author’s life and his expectations for life after 60. He bemoans just about everything regarding growing old and his lot in life. This is against a back drop of long wonderful trips and interesting experiences. Yuck … skip this one!
