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.

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.

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

Philosophy of an accessible kind.

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.
