Tuesdays with Morrie

As I was browsing through the books in the Times, Pavilion last Tuesday, the title of this particular book caught my attention.

It was the book "Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom. It's about an old man, a young man, and life's greatest lessons.

After going through the book, I figured it is going to be the book that I would like to recommend to most people, especially my friends. :) It wasn't a thick book though, just a small book with less than 100 pages? If you are focus enough, you can finish it within one afternoon.

The book basically is about Mitch Albom, the author, spending quality time with his professor, Morrie Schwartz during the last moments of Morrie's life. Morrie used to teach Mitch during his college years and they always hang out together after the class, particularly during Tuesdays to talk about everything that was happening in their lives. It was sort of like mentoring sessions for them.

So, as Morrie was dying, during the last moments in his life Mitch came to visit him and had regular sessions with Morrie to learn from him about life lessons. And what not, they meet up every Tuesday until Morrie passed away.

For me, i would say it is a good book, worth the time reading, don't miss it. :)
