Marriage Made in Heaven: Or Too Tired for An Affair by Erma Bombeck

Synopsis (from barnesandnoble.com)
Irresistible Force met Immovable Object on the sunny day in 1949 when Erma and Bill Bombeck plighted their troth. Now, from their canned chili days of “Living on Love” to “How Much Happiness Can We Finance?” through “Creative Arguing”, from “A House Divided Cannot Stand One Another”, to “Run for Your Life” and “For Better or for Work”, Erma serves up – as only she can – the timeless tales of laughter and love that have defined couples since Adam and Eve.
I wanted to read some Erma because I was in the mood for funny women. For me, she never fails. I was nodding my head and cracking up at the same time. Things women thought but only said to each other, Erma told to the world.
She tells her truth with a wink and a smile. First apartments, babies, money, parenting, and even technology.
If you need a reminder not to take everything so seriously, pick up Marriage…. After the first couple of pages, you’ll be caught up in the goings-on in Erma’s world. It starts with a wedding and ends with a wedding. Very fitting.
My take: I liked it.
(This is book 3 in my APOOO 2009 1st quarter reading challenge.)








Hey Diva D…thanks for telling me about this book. I’m going to check it out at the library…and go head on with your reading challenge…what’s up next?
Hola Yas- I think you’ll enjoy some Erma. She is quick and easy to read. I can’t decide what’s next for me. Maybe some more old school- James Thurber (love him and have been meaning to reread his short stories for years) or some YA vampire books that Diva in Training read over the holidays and loved (and said that I just HAD to read) or some cynical humor (Bitter is the New Black by Jen Lancaster). Decisions, decisions. LOL
