At the beginning of the boko Fulghum wrote that he was inspired by a French essayist who wrote indiscriminately, from the mundane to the profound, without any conscious effort to sound lofty or academic. And so in this book we found essays on late night snacking back to back with another on peacekeeping diplomat, which in turn is followed by an essay on how the loss of a cigar resulted in a thrilling escapade, which is followed by the ruckus raised by the addition of a dog in the neighborhood, ...more

I love Robert Fulghum. Like <u>Everything I Needed to Know...</> and <u>It was on Fire When I Lay Down on It</>, Fulghum's gentle, insightful, humorous observations about life fill the pages of this book. His perspectives and descriptions always bring smiles--and even laughter while I read, frequently at 2 a.m., alone in my room. How many authors can do that to you?

Finally finished a book worth reading. I have been going through a dry spell during the month of July, one horrible book followed by something more horrific. Uh-Oh seemed to describe my choice of literature during the past month.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book; it was full of humor, witisms and a lot of general knowledge. I will certainly look for more non fiction by RF in the future.

I discovered Robert Fulghum when I was a freshman in high school. I really love his writing. His books are collections of short stories that are surprisingly full of humanity and feeling. He sees depth in some of the simplest things. His books are very entertaining. Some stories make you laugh, some make you cry, and all of them make you appreciate life and everything it brings with it.

I really like this author, who also wrote "All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten." I think he has a lot of great insight, but I'm quickly learning that not many people in the book club I'm in liked it at all.

His writing style is unique. I feel like I'm listening to a grandpa tell random life stories. This book, like Fulghum's other books, makes you laugh and cry but above all, it makes you think.

As another reviewer stated, "Light and funny." Nothing life-changing, but the entertainment value is worth the read, especially if you are looking for something uplifting and easy.

I read this book to unwind at night before going to bed. It's the author's random thoughts about anything. Very clever and amusing. I really enjoyed it.

Not as strong as 'Fire,' but still a fun compilation of yarns.
