Humorous, down-to-earth and engaging essays on the little surprises and joys of life. I found this a good book to read at night right before going to sleep, and also a nice counterbalance to some of the more serious books in my pile right now.
I enjoyed this book very much. Those who have liked Mr. Fulghum’s other books will like to read this one as well. But read this especially if you like weddings gone wrong and hate dogs.
All of Robert Fulgham's books are hilarious! His stories are well told and easy to read and follow.
I don't remember the details, but I remember not laughing much.
Some Observations from Both Sides of the Refrigerator Door
Das Buch "Alles, was Du wirklich wissen mußt, hast Du schon als Kind gelernt - Ungewöhnliche Betrachtungen über gewöhnliche Dinge" hat mir sehr gefallen. Dieses hier dagegen fand ich nicht mehr so toll. Fulghum bliebt seinem anrührenden Stil natürlich treu, da kullern schon immer wieder Tränen, zum beispiel beim Jonglierer in der Weihnachtsmesse oder bei dem Hund, der die ganze Hausbootgemeide verzaubert. Aber insgesamt fand ich das Buch geschwätziger, langatmiger, behäbiger als das erste, nicht pointiert und treffend. Vieles war auch einfach lustig (z.B. die Swiss Army Unterhose), ohne tiefere Bedeutung.
Eine Geschichte fand ich allerdings super: "I believe in Howard" bzw. "Howard be thy name" - das gefällt mir sehr und wenn show more ich das mal auf Deutsch finde, möchte ich es in meinem Gesprächskreis lesen. show less

Robert Fulghum was born in Waco, Tex. in 1937. He attended the University of Colorado and obtained a degree in history and philosophy from Baylor University. He also spent some time at a Zen Buddhist monastery in Japan. Fulghum's ideas about how to make life better and appreciate its simple joys inspired him to write the bestselling All I Really show more Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten. Several other successful books authored by Fulghum have followed, such as It Was On Fire When I Lay Down On It, Maybe (Maybe Not), Uh-Oh: Some Observations From Both Sides of the Refrigerator Door, From Beginning to End, True Love, What On Earth Have I Done?, and Third Wish.
