It Was on Fire When I Lay Down on It

"More humorous, insightful essays from a master story-teller, Fulghum’s second book It Was on Fire When I Lay Down on It reached #2 on the bestseller list while Kindergarten was still #1. This was the first and only time in the list’s history that the same author had the #1 and #2 books at the same time. From burning beds to driver’s ed, from a disastrous wedding to the joy of tree climbing, from the rewards of grandparenthood to simple but surprising wisdom from the head of a Zen Buddhist monastery—Fulghum has a gift for finding meaning in life rather than the meaning of life."
