Tuesdays with Morrie

Have you ever picked up a book to read that you just could not put down. Tuesdays with Morrie is that type of book. Even though it is short but its one that when you start you just can’t stop. A book that has touched many lives in many ways. This is a book that you could read in one sitting and be able to finish.

The author Mitch Albom has brought tears to peoples eyes in this book.

an old man, a young man, and life’s greatest lesson

A book you can place in your pocket and take with and read more than once. When Justin bought me this book he told me that I would not regret reading it and I would like to thank him for buying it for me to read.
I started reading this in what I like to call my man’s office if you know what I mean. Then it was a book that I threw into my camo back pack to take on hunting trips to the woods. This book has changed my life in many ways. With its tolliet paper book mark to mark its pages I carried it with me until I finished it.

Mitch Albom was a student of Morrie Schwartz at Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts. Mitch would attend his favorite college professors class every Tuesday. Morrie would eventually end up with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. A disease that is brutal, and unforgiving illness of the neurological system.

Mitch would spend the last few months and days visiting Morrie at his home. There they would have class for to say like they did many years ago. The things that is written in this book will capture your mind, heart, and soul. It will make you think about the ones that you might have lost in the past rather it be a loved one or even a very close friend. I enjoyed the book so much that I have now gone and purchased another book by Mitch called “For one more day”.

As I have said in the past I do not read a lot of books like this. I’m more on the scale of Tom Kelly books but this one book touches me in more ways than one. I would say that as much as I love to read Tom Kelly that this book bypasses any other. I can never say that I ever had a teacher or professor like Morrie. It almost makes me wish that I could have been there to take one of his classes like Mitch. I will carry no further than I have cause there are no other words than pure love to describe this book. No it’s not a love story but of a story of a young and old man who became more than just teacher and student. It will change your life-like it has done mine. Hope you enjoy-Shannon L. Wood
