Summary: Old? Well, I Am Getting There
Comment: My wife is wonderful, but sometimes I wonder about her. She threw a 40th birthday party for me and told all of our friends that "they were to show no mercy." Needless to say they took her advice. However,it wasn't until I opened up "You're Not Getting Better, You're Getting Older (with the D.O.A. toe tags) that I truly felt the grief that goes along with turning 40. I promised the "friend" who gave me this book that I would be seeking revenge on his 40th.

Summary: I laughed so hard my knees hurt
Comment: I can't say I enjoy getting older, but Mr. Fulghum's sometimes whimisical but mostly barbed shots at the experience made me appreciate that I need to laugh about it. Good, easy reading, and good laughs all around!

Summary: Death is not funny to me.
Comment: Imagine a book about a man who, in the midst of eating dinner with his family, suffers a cardiac infarction, is rushed to the hospital for emergency bypass surgery, and dies there as his adult-age children wait outside. Funny, right? Well, not when it happened to a neighbor of mine. He was an executive with an accounting firm and quite a good card player as I recall. Anyway, the world is full enough of things to make fun of without adding "impending death" to the list. It is possible this book was not intended to be funny but rather to be a collection of poignant observations on death and dying; but I don't believe it for a second, Mr. Fulghum. I urge one and all not to buy this most dangerous book.
