Tuesdays with morrie

I recommend this book for about anybody. There are so many life lessons that come out of the text. The way morrie tells the things he does make it very easy to understand.

This book is an autobiography by Mitch albom. That tells about his life in college and about his life as a sports writer. He became a very successful sports writer in his career. But he got caught up in business a lot and forgot about the important things in life. Then he saw his favorite professor morrie on nightline once and that he was about to die. So he flew over to his teacher’s house and was astonished by how much he had changed since he used to live by there. He visits with morrie and they talk about life lessons. Mitch returns every Tuesday to talk with morrie. Every week morrie gets sicker. When will these important meetings end?

I gave it a four and a half star because there are a lot of things to learn from this book ... maybe if I finished it all the way it would be 5 but I still don’t know how it ends.

Favorite passage: "I will lose the battle when someone else will start wiping my @#$%^)(*&^.."

Even though morrie know he is going to die he still jokes about little things that he won’t be able to do any more and to keep a good attitude.
