Author : Pete May
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Ageing Body, Confused Mind
This is the funniest book I have ever read. I was looking for practical help with growing older and this book demonstrated to me that ageing does not have to be a problem, depending on how you look at it. We should all grow old as Pete May suggests - laughing and being ourselves. Thank you for showing me an alternative.

Title : How to Retire Rich
Author : James O'Shaughnessey
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Illuminating!!!
A must read for anyone who cares about their financial future. The cloud of confusion that shrouds Wall Street has been blown away. Finally, a simple, easy to understand investment guide that gives actionable advice. Forget about the 5,000 mutual funds that consistently underperform the market. Forget about this year's genius or this year's hot fund. Follow a discipline and stick to it through thick or thin. Thanks, O'Shaughnessy. This book summarizes everything I've learned about investing over the years, but, of course, not yet acted upon. That will change. ----Three things to count in life: death, taxes, and dismal stock market returns without an invesment strategy!----

Summary : Now you're retired; let's go to work for fun and profit.
Are you retiring and want to start life over as a musician, a mystery writer, a candlemaker? Lisa Angowski Rogak, with David H. Bangs, Jr., has interviewed these and more to find out the pros and cons of being a clown, potter, herbalist, boatbuilder and ninety other some-odd retirement occupations, in 100 Best Retirement Businesses (Upstart, $15.95). All these people had a previous life, so they also have the perspective to see how difficult taking on a new, self-employed challenge might be.

Title : A Peaceful Retirement
Author : Miss" "Read
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Another gentle and charming book from my favourite author
A change in direction with not only retirement but marriage proposals as well for my most loved fictional character. With all of the Fairacre books, a book I have read over and over - only with particular sadness as it appears that this may be the final book. I found the illustrations a bit off putting - part of my love of Miss Read's books are due to J Goodall's beautiful illustrations - not that these are bad, just not what previous readers may be used to. My only complaint is that it is too short!
