review 1: People who like this sort of thing will love it - I liked it very much, though I don't generally care for this sort of thing at all. A bestseller in France under the title "Le Sel de la Vie," it is a paratactic list of wonderful ordinary things that are superb - my favorite is "just having time for a mouthful of cocktail." One problem is that some of the things she likes don't sound very nice to me any more. One great thing is that she announces at the outset that she's not going to put on her list anything having to do with "that dreadful thing which Freud calls 'sex'" (in the words of the immortal Lucia).On the other hand, it does make one think about one's own sel de la vie, and perhaps it does well to remember it. For instance, my thought this morning: while it co... morest me over $2,000 to get my lawn mowed once, I do actually know a lady osteopath who might well wire me $25 whenever I needed it. Or perhaps once. I ordered The Sweetness of Life from the UK because its author has written the BEST anthrolopological meditation on incest EVER.
review 2: now this is just a book listing the good things in lifei mean it's nice and funny and yes sweet because it just makes you think of all the things you have to be grateful for in your life. the simple pleasures whether it's a hug or someone making you a cup of tea or getting a seat on the train or reading a book whatever it is, thes eare the little things which make life worth living. these are the little things we must remember in moments of sadness. it's about the good things and memories and yeah it's a nice book. short and sweet. =PHappy Reading! =) less
