It Was On Fire When I Lay Down on It

Rating:
Summary: A very hard book to read for an animal lover
Review: Those who love this book are obviously not dog lovers. Fulghum recommends doing like the Thais and eating dogs. He bemoans the amount spent on companion dogs--instead of criticizing the millions spent on pursuits that have nothing to do with loving another creature. Instead of reviling love in the form it takes when we love our dogs, he could have put his energy into eradicating various forms of hate. I was forever discouraged from reading another book by Fulghum, which is too bad, since I think he has a lot of positive messages, too. I just don't get what he hoped to accomplish by that brutal assessment of dogs and those who love them.

Summary: It Was On Fire When I Lay Down On It
Review: With great wit and gentle grace, Robert Fulgham holds up a mirror so that we may see ourselves and our foiables more clearly. He has a unique ability to point out the treasure of the little things, the common things in life. After reading one of his books, I feel more serene, more appreciative of my blessings, and smile at the memories he has helped me recall. If you have not been "stopping to smell the roses" this book will help you start. Enjoy!
