It Was On Fire When I Lay Down On It

Light weight collection, but not bad reading. It's not going to inspire me to change my life, just think about the funny things people do. I like that his outlook on life is very accepting of others & willing to make a fool of himself in his pursuit of finding meaning & connecting with others.
OK, yes I chose it for a 2011 LT challenge because I could read it quickly. But it was also in my TBR pile. Only thing is, I didn't not like it enough to put in my get-rid-of-it pile, just shuffled to my already-read-and might-want-to-look-at-again shelf, so I'm not helping my shelf space any.
2011 review.

Another humorous, down-to-earth collection of essays. Fulghum's mix of homespun philosophy and laugh-out-loud anecdotes (especially the wedding-related ones) is a welcome antidote for the cares and stresses of daily life.

Fulghum has had an interesting life. He's been a minister, cowboy, salesman, teacher, writer, and amateur philosopher. This book is a continuation of the anecdotes and fables he so memorably presented us with in "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten." The vignettes are humorous and thought-provoking. In fact, I spent a lot of time staring off into space between them and trying to internalize what I had just read. I was afraid the writing would come off either syrup-y or preachy, but I was pleasantly surprised. I would recommend this book to...anyone, really.

I thought this was a great book; so many truisms with a couple of laugh-out loud moments thrown in. I think I'm reading him backwards.

Rated: A+
little reflections about life from the view of the author's life. Makes you laugh and cry from reading to reading

I very much enjoyed reading this book because it proves that even the most random moments have a meaning to your life. As with his first book, anyone will enjoy reading this book; as long as they have an open mind.

Not much in the way of plot or direction, but it comes with a DC alert - make sure you are sitting down and your mouth and hands are empty - or you are liable to end up spraying someone before you finish the book.
