Symptoms of being 35
Ring Lardner
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
At the breakfast table of middle age, a man pauses between bites of waffle and sips of lukewarm coffee to face a quietly hilarious crisis: turning 35. In Symptoms of Being 35, Ring W. Lardner delivers a droll, sharply observed portrait of a man reckoning with the subtle absurdities of adult life. From creaking knees to creeping self-doubt, unopened bills to inexplicable mismatched socks, the signs are all there—and Lardner, with his trademark wit and understatement, catalogues them with knowing charm. Originally published in the early 20th century, this short story remains timeless in its comedic dissection of modern anxieties and the quiet comedy of growing older. Perfect for listeners who enjoy wry humor, vintage style, and a gentle nudge that maybe, just maybe, 35 isn’t as young as it used to be.
