Maybe it was a grandparent, a teacher or a colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and impassioned, helped you to see the world as a more profound place and gave you sound advice to guide your way through it. For Mitch Albom, it was Morrie Schwartz, the college professor who had taught him nearly twenty year before. Perhaps, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as the years passed, the insights faded and the world seemed colder. Wouldn't you like to see that person again, to ask the bigger questions that still haunt you and receive wisdom for your busy life the way you once did when you were younger?

Mitch Albom got that second chance, rediscovering Morrie in the last months of the older man's life. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final 'class'; lessons in how to live. Tuesdays with Morrie is a magical chronicle of their time together.

PS this is a cancelled library book.

This is a story about Morrie who has been diagnosed with ALS which is Motor Neuron Disease to those in the UK. An old pupil of his gets in touch and Morris gives him lessons in life, wise words and is very honest and frank about dying. There are powerful messages throughout the whole book and it is a story we can all take something from.
This is a though provoking book that you will want to re-read later. There were a couple of sections I wanted to go back over as soon as I had finished the book but couldn’t find them at a glance. If this hadn’t been chosen to put into a bookring, I would have kept it a bit longer.

Sending on in the bookring.

Picked this from rodespringbal's Tuesday Bookring.

This was a fast read and I do like the idea of honouring someone who has played a significant part in your life. However, the story just wasn't what I was looking for. I think I'm more of a person who likes to read stories where people do things together because they can, not just because that was the only time they had left together. I'm happy they did spend the last few months of Morrie's life together in a productive way that fulfilled them both.

I do like the author's writing style and will most likely read him again.

Travelling in my Alphabet Bookring - Last Name beginning with A.

Chosen from the alphabet book ring - Letter A - to share. I read it previously and enjoyed the characters and their path.

Taking to lunch with some BookCrossing friends where I hope to persuade one of them to try this classic.
