More bellybutton dander from the fellow who brought us Uh Oh (LJ 8/91) .
Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc. FROM BOOKLIST
Just in time for Valentine's Day comes the perennially best-selling Fulghum's latest on love. In Uh-Oh (1991) , he shared love stories from his own life. Now, per his request, readers have sent him their own brushes with love, and to gather more fodder, he sat in Seattle coffee shops with a sign that said, "Tell me a short love story, and I will buy you coffee and make you famous." Sounds like a pretty easy way to "write" a book, but Fulghum does provide commentary here and there and some of his own material, including a touching little tale about a widow in her seventies who re-meets her true love at her high-school reunion and then wanders around Victoria's Secret trying to figure out how to translate her feelings into appropriate lingerie. Some of the anecdotes are so sweet they'll make your teeth ache faster than Valentine chocolates. Librarians may want to warn readers not to gobble this down in one sitting.
