Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lesson, 25th Anniversary Edition by Mitch Albom, Mitch Albom
5.0
This is truly a beautiful book. Perhaps some may find it a little preachy, maybe sappy, but I think that if you look really hard there's something in it for everyone.
My connection was with Morrie, not because I am anything like him (not at all in fact) but because I admire him. I wish I had a teacher like him. I wish I had his strength. And I hope that in my final moments I can remember this book and the teachings based off those of a real person and pass in peace. Mitch Albom says himself in the afterword that the book is not about him, it's about Morrie, and I truly felt that.
It is short, straightforward, and sweet. It may make you cry, it may not, but you are certain to feel something.
