Thumbs up Tuesdays with Morrie

Yet another one-night book. A small & concise one. The reviews on this book is what made me pick it up from the stores.

Yes, this book is definitely worth a read. All the things that is said in this book are nothing new. However, the way the whole book is associated with real life is what makes us think.
It definitely includes a huge portion of Emotions. After the first few chapters, you definitely stop to read & start to think on terms of your own life.

Each one can associate what is said in the book with our own life. I stopped almost at the end of every chapter...to think about, to sink into what is said. At one point, i even thought i will not continue to read it for a day or too...coz i had too much to think about, to grasp, to take into myself & too much of emotions.

But i did continue to finish it....as it is said in the book "Get into it & get out"....so i got into the contents & got out! There are aphorsims said....quite handy, crispy ones to remember.

Cheers
Jenz

I completely agree with Jenz. Its a delight to read Tuesdays with Morrie. I have also enjoyed reading Five people you meet in heaven and For One more day both the books by the same author Mitch Albom. Any book lover should once try reading the above books.I am sure you would love reading books if you aren't a regular reader.
Cheers
Maddie

Yes this should be a must read ... Readers Digest has even published some of it I think!
The other book Maddie says Five people... is a must read too!

I loved Tuesdays With Morrie, and all his other books as well. I came across this youtube video for his upcoming book, "Have A Little Faith." I thought I'd share the video with you guys because I know you will enjoy it as much as I did!

Have A Little Faith


Take care

Hi Jenz,

I have all the Mitch Alboms an I love his writing... When I was just 20 I read Jonathan Livingston Seagul... After decades, I read Tuesdays with Morrie... A friend told me about this book...
