This a beautiful story. I read it a while ago out of the library and loved it so much I had to go out and buy it. I would have loved to have known Morrie sounds like such a special person.

It is one of the best down to earth books I have ever read. It enlightens the soul, and teaches you that life is short. Morrie is the old professor who doesn't stop chatting with the main character. They make Tuesdays appointments like meeting with an old friend from your childhood or college years. It's a wonderful book if you have the time to sit down and read, not browse through it. I did read it in about 2 hours, but that's because it's a book worth keeping. Mitch Albom is an awesome author. He also wrote the Five People You Meet In Heaven, which is just heart warming.

Storyline

Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher, or a colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching, helped you see the world as a more profound place, gave you sound 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 this 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, receive wisdom for your busy life today the way you once did when you were younger?

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. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final “class”: lessons in how to live.

Tuesdays with Morrie is a magical chronicle of their time together, through which Mitch shares Morrie's lasting gift with the world.

It’s been ten years since Mitch Albom first shared the wisdom of Morrie Schwartz with the world. Now–twelve million copies later–in a new afterword, Mitch Albom reflects again on the meaning of Morrie’s life lessons and the gentle, irrevocable impact of their Tuesday sessions all those years ago. . .
