Not really the type of book I would normally read - a bit too "American" for me

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

To be given to a fellow book-crosser...

And that fellow Bookcrosser is me. The book goes on my ever growing mount TBR.

I thought this was a very special story and I enjoyed it.

I'm very curious... but TBR is the status it will keep for some time, I fear...
Thanx for this present in the summer lottery!

Edited on 20-10-2009:
This was the first book I received as prize of the lottery, and so it was only fair to read it before the others. And I'm glad I did: it was a really nice book about life. Although some of the lessons 'Mitch' learned seemed very obvious to me, in general it depicts a way of life that should be lived by more people, and not only because of their lethal illness or their old age. If I could change mine only a little bit to the way Morrie lives...

I think I will give it to a friend.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

Dit boek gaat naar Fifna, de winnares van de herfstloterij! Ik hoop dat je het een mooi boek vindt, de BC'ers voor je vonden dat in ieder geval wel!

This book is the prize in the autumn lottery for Fifna. I hope you'll like the book, just as the fellow Bookcrossers did before you.

Thank you very much, Melanthe! I read Albom's The Five People You Meet in Heaven and enjoyed it, so am looking forward to this one.

I must say I agree with Melanthe, some of Morrie's lessons appear to be so obvious. But maybe that is precisely why they need to be taught, we think we already know all this, but do we actually put it into practice? I don't know whether I would necessarily have picked this book out to read, but I'm glad it came my way. I'll probably take it to the convention in Dublin, so it can continue on it travels.

Going to the 2012 Convention at Camden Court Hotel.

Picked up at the BC convention in Dublin. 

On the OBCZ shelf.
