Tuesdays with Morrie

I suppose it's official. I really like Mitch Albom as an author. As I was walking yesterday and listening to the author read his book, I smiled. I also laughed and got choked up at times. Mitch is a writer that I really like to like. His style is consistently his own, and I enjoy the humanity of his perspectives. I can relate to him and his experiences, because he touches on universal topics and emotions that we all experience. Once again, he has woven these into a compelling and thought provoking book. Enjoy!

Synopsis Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher. Someone older who understood you when you were young and searching, who helped you see the world as a more profound place, and gave you advice to help you make your way through it. For Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his college professor from nearly twenty years ago. Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of your mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded, and the world seemed colder. Wouldn't you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you? Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man's life. Knowing he was dying, Morrie visited with Mitch in his study every Tuesday, just as they used to back in college. Tuesdays With Morrie is a magical chronicle of their time together, through which Mitch shares Morrie's lasting gift to the world.

Love this book! Don't know if you have read it, but his other book "The 5 People You Meet in Heaven" is a really great one also. Very touching, and really makes you think about how our lives are all connected.
