Synopsis "Observations and Paradoxes: My Life as a Baby Boomer (in English)"
Observations and Paradoxes contains sarcasm, humor, and cynicism. For a number of years, author Will Daniel maintained a simple database of observations that baby boomers might find interesting or amusing and turned those observations into this book. Interestingly, younger people also enjoy reading some of this stuff. Overly sensitive people who are offended easily by non-politically correct speech might be offended by this book. It's not that the author's goal is to offend folks; rather it's just that people are so easily offended these days. Before he worked on this book, Will looked at others written by baby boomers. What he saw were what he calls feeble attempts at humor and/or sarcasm (as you might find this one to be). What struck him most, though, was the way many baby boomer authors whine about the aches and pains of getting old. We all have our share of health issues on our way to senior citizenship, but he refuses to whine about it. Topics discussed in this book include aging baby boomers, alcohol, animal rights, annoying people, oxymorons, grandkids, consumerism, English teachers, paradoxes, and youthful thought processes. Information about his other books is on his website www.willdaniel.com.
