I remember having this one's audio on my phone when I travelled home on November 2014. Reason for said travel: my grandfather (the hero of my childhood) had had a stroke. It was a sweet, simple, preachy book that couldn't teach something that I was living in the flesh. Because it's stuff that you ...

A slightly naive, refreshingly unwarped view of human experience.Inspirational Qs from here:❂❂❂Death ends a life, not a relationship.❂❂❂You see, you closed your eyes. That was the difference. Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to h...

I cried. I usually do not read books like this. First it is contemporary, secondly I know it will make me cry and not the good kind of cry. It will make you cry because you feel the desparation and hopelessness we all could face some day. But the story is written beautifully. There is wisdom to be l...

Rating – 1/5, downgraded from the 2/5 I gave this immediately after finishing it.I don’t write a lot of reviews, but the sheer magnitude of divided opinions on this one is very compelling.The only saving grace of Tuesdays with Morrie is that it’s a ‘memoir’, a story about a real-life person and a re...

Great book. Really makes you think about life & how you approach it. I still see Morrie paralyzed & unable to move, but still happy & thinking about others. I saw the original story from Nightline. I love the part where Morrie talks about needing someone to "wipe my a**." The best part about this, t...

I've been working on clearing my own shelves and when I don't have anything pressing I grab something. I wanted something that wasn't too big or lengthy and this definitely hit the spot.The subject is heavy. I suspect most of us have either read it or read a synopsis by now. So I won't rehash and ju...

I have read almost everyone of Mitch Albom’s books that are heartfelt. I think this was his first was this book and while this one isn’t my favorite or as memorable as say One More Day or Have A Little Faith. These honest books get to the heart of matters and always make me cry at some point. Th...
