True Love: Stories

True Love: Stories 1st edition by Fulghum, Robert published by Harpercollins Hardcover I am a huge fan of Robert Fulghum's short essay books, particularly his earliest works, as they make me laugh and have been good medicine. This book is not, strictly speaking, his writing, it is a compilation of stories told to him or written by others to him (selected by him) and so has a somewhat different flavor. The stories run the gamut, anonymously and some barefaced, of persons intimate stories of love, love lost or love wished, making them endearing and sometimes creepy depending on the story and your point of view. Fulghum acknowledges this potential creep factor about three quarters of the way into the book.I would describe this book as snack food even in its category. quick and easy but not terribly filling or satiating. Maybe not so healthy. a couple of the stories are VINTAGE Fulghum. He still makes me laugh.

Collected stories from readers, selected by the author. These are individual accounts of magical, powerful and inspiring love - lost, found and both. It seems to me they share a quality that's hard to express: perhaps it is that all the stories ring true - they're "real" in a very real way!A wonderful document of how we experience love in our culture and in our time.I hoped for at least one story which hinted at the discovery of love as a universal principle which informs all its expressions that we experience. Alas, I didn't find one, or I missed seeing it. But this is no criticism - just a hope for more.

I kept finding these quotes on Facebook that were referenced in this book. I actually enjoyed each and every love story in the book. It's a great read.

I love this book; it is full of quick, uplifting stories. The book is out of print, so whenever I find a decent copy I buy it to gift to others. I wish the publisher would release it on kindle, so I could have it with me when I travel.

This is one of my favorite books to give out to friends. It's an easy read with a simple premise. Being from Seattle makes it all the better. I highly recommend this book to anyone who needs a pick-me-up or wants to regain perspective on the brighter aspects of humanity.

Great easy read, found myself underlining some good points. Would highly recommend

yes, I read this book years ago and wanted to read it again. ROBERT FULGHUM books are fun to read he tells real life stories that touch your heart and some make you laugh. If you like non fiction, his books are worth the try!!!!
