I'm not a Baby Boomer but "Gen X" and I found this book to be one of the funniest I ever read, and also one of the most poignant. Accountant Frederick Stone (even the well-chosen name makes him sound stuffy) has the life that he takes for granted come tumbling down around him when his free-spirited wife walks out on him. Suddenly he's receiving his first traffic ticket, falling from a roof when he's trying to spy on his soon-to-be-ex wife, beating up an "intruder" who turns out to be a relative, and having his bare rump photographed by a private detective when a local rich woman throws herself on him. In between these capers, he's learning about himself and about growing older, about dreams that don't come true, about adjustments we all have to make as we get older, about many, many insightful and touching things. This is a wonderfully written book, a true pleasure, and I recommend it to readers of all ages.
