Always learn something from Fulghum. ( )

All of Robert Fulgham's books are hilarious! His stories are well told and easy to read and follow. ( )

A nice light read. I didn't always agree with his thoughts, but I usually did. Books like this always make me want to write my own book. I read it and think, "Hey - maybe someone would want to read my opinions and observations too!" Clean, and family friendly. ( )

A wonderful collection of stories and musings. Some make you think, others just make you laugh. Very fun to see inside someone else's head. ( )

About the author: Robert Fulghum has written multiple international best sellers, such as "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten," and was a UU minister for more than twenty years. He began that career in Bellingham, WA. Being an accomplished painter and sculptor, he also taught drawing, painting and philosophy at Lakeside School in Seattle. He sings and plays guitar and mando-cello and is a founding member of the authors' collective rock-and-roll band, The Rock Bottom Remainders. His previous jobs include ditch digger, newspaper carrier, ranch hand, IBM salesman and singing cowboy. Source: Wikipedia. About the book: Quoting from the dust jacket of the book, "[He] now adds "Maybe, (Maybe Not), his wisest and most entertaining work to date. Opting for constant surprise, he continues to amuse and inspire with enlightenment encountered in the most unexpected ways and places.

"Consider Fulghum's thoughts on the secret life that nonstop epic playing inside our heads, where all our best-laid dreams are hatched on barbershop mythology, the shifting significance of nicknames over the course of a lifetime, or the circumstances of one's own conception."
