Still want to be cool but are afraid you no longer know how? Be not afraid - old is the new young!

 You dye your hair, you happily order the weekly shop online, you're planning a trip to South America and even know who won Big Brother this year. But last week you also told your kids that G4 are 'sick' and were promptly silenced by looks of utter scorn.

 Stay away from language that has no right to come out of lips that are more than 45 years old.make that 35.no, make that 14. No-one over the age of 16 uses 'sick' to describe anything, you don't 'hook-up' if you're not a teenager and you know you're over 40 if you have ever told another adult to carry an umbrella 'because the weather looks iffy'. If you think you're too old to act young or too past it to join Facebook, think again. This book is the essential guide to how not to act old - and how not to embarrass yourself whilst doing it!

 With 150 different 'ways' how not to act old, this book covers everything you need to know about being young and how to recognise your limits when trying out your new, younger, attitude to life. Covering many areas including slang speech, relationships, parenting, fashion and technology and written with wit, style and humour, this book is sure to be a source of both amusement and comfort to people of a certain age everywhere.

 Remember - old is just Young 2.0!

How Not to Act Old - 185 Ways to Pass for Cool, Sound, Wicked, or at Least Not Totally Lame

« En général, j'aime ceux qui sont un peu, ou largement, fous.
L'imbécile, non ! L'idiot, oui ! Il y a une grande distinction entre les deux. D'être fou, c'est d'être poète. Ce sont des imbéciles qui gouvernent le monde. » Ce court texte, le seul que Miller ait jamais écrit en français, reprends inlassablement le meilleur de l'auteur : sa verve, son érudition, sa drôlerie libertaire, sa foi en la poésie et en l'homme.
Comme souvent avec Miller, on se balade dans les recoins de sa mémoire, de ses réflexions. Il nous parle de ce qu'il a aimé, de ce qu'il a honni, de ce siècle qu'il a traversé les yeux grands ouverts et nous livre, une fois de plus, une joyeuse leçon de vie et d'intelligence.
