Tuesdays with Morrie

Bonus points because it was my mom’s before it was mine.

In short, I put off reading this book through the years because of life and for some reason just this morning I decided to read this book. Went to get some coffee in the morning and read the entire thing by afternoon. It touched me in many ways. It will be difficult to summarize but I would recommend this book to anyone who has ever felt love or is looking for love. This book will always hold a special place in my heart because it reminds me what it is to love. I will now pass on that love to the world.

A couple of years ago, I read Mitch Albom's "Have a little faith" and really loved it.
Now, I wanted to find again the inspiration that I had previously gained from reading his work and thought that "Tuesdays with Morrie" was the perfect follow up. I hoped it would stop me from feeling so lost all the time and, gladly, I wasn't disappointed. I think that Morrie Schwartz was such a wise man and he inspired me tremendously.
Everyone who is in a small life crisis and is looking for some guidance should read this book.

If you're a cynic you're not going to like this book but if you are ready to empathize and let your feelings guide you through this book you will not be disappointed.

a feel-good, (touchy-feely) book. But being critcal people, we proceeded to criticise. From there we wandered to how sequestered we have become from death, to how those dying face it, how the survivers deal with it, and what is going to happen when the baby boomers start dying. Evidentially the head librarian kicked us out so he could close up.

My father gave me this book after he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. He didn't know how else to say he loved me and needed me to reach out to him after we'd spent years mostly estranged… but this gesture meant all of that.

I don't really remember the content of the book itself, but that isn't important.
