Passed on to Rebekkila after we did a release walk at the Charleston Food + Wine Festival. She is leaving Charleston to return to Michigan, and this audio book will keep her company as she travels.

From Bookczuk to accompany on my travel to the North.

I grew up in the Detroit area with a sports fanatic father. So it was strange hearing his voice on this recording, I am just to hearing it dogging the Lions and Tigers. It may have colored my opinion of the book but he always sounded so arrogant on his broadcasts.
I do think that he did a very nice thing by drawing attention to ALS and helping to pay his old Professor's medical bills.

I am sending this out in Booklady331's audio only bookbox.

Pulling this out of booklady331's Audio CD Only bookbox. Thanks for sharing Rebekkila. Btw... It's nice to know there are Green Bay Packer fans in Michigan. Go! Pack! Go! ;-)

Loved this audiobook! Ya, and it got me crying. But there is so much wisdom shared by Morrie in regards to learning to love and respect each other every day and to enjoy the simple things in life. Force ourselves to move away from materialistic notions and not get all caught up in acquiring more and/or better. I myself try to enjoy the simple things in life. I get teased every Christmas when I am asked, "What do you want this year?" My standard answer is a few good books and wool socks. And I mean it. LOL! But I found this book has caused me to reflect upon my daily life and to look for "What is missing", how I can make improvements in regards to what is really important, and to learn to love/forgive myself and others.

I am now passing this audiobook over to my husband. After that, I will send this on the next leg of its journey. This memoir falls into the category of Must Be Shared With Others. You did good Morrie... and Mitch. ;-)

Sending this off in BigJohnLefty's Audiobook Box. Happy Travels!

Taking out of BigJohnLefty's Audio Bookbox.

I've been wanting to try reading this book for a long time, and maybe now this will give me a reason to. Yay :-) Thanks!

This is a tough book to find the right words to review. It's short and sad--the wisdom of a dying older man to a younger man who was his student years ago and then his student again. It's beautiful, full of lessons like how to appreciate the little things in life, affirmations, touching moments between people. Morrie seems like the kind of guy every can't help but love--one of those dynamic, likable souls that made a story like this possible, especially with his focuses on philosophy and sociology already. There was all sorts of wisdom, so I feel like anyone would be able to pick something out to attach to. As a whole, I think it would be difficult to live like that all the time, but it's something to strive for. At one point Morrie talks about making each day a good day, and that's something I latched onto--have I done enough each day to help the world, to help my friends/family, and (by extension) to make myself happy?

The book goes by so quickly I can't even remember all of what is said, but the sense of it lingers and probably always will. It's sad--I definitely cried--and the descriptions as the disease ravages him painted a vivid picture of the horror. But out of the terrible comes clarity and detachment and wisdom, which is admirable.

I also loved that the sessions had been taped and some of the recordings are presented at the end of the book in the audio version! It was wonderful hearing their conversations and Morrie's voice.

Putting into Booklady331's CD Only Audio Bookbox.

I hope the next reader enjoys it!

Pulled this out of the audiobookbox - will listen to soon....

Arrived in Arizona (USA) on Friday, December 18th to spend Christmas 2015. LOVE it here in the Sonoran Desert, so I'm planning to stay on and call this “home” for a time. Holiday Blessings to all, and best wishes for a Bright and Shiny New Year!
