Has anyone read this best seller by Mitch Albom? I put off reading it for a long time because I thought it was going to be "too cutsie" or something like that. But last summer I took a class called "Best Sellers" and it was on the syllabus. I couldn't put the book down! I loved it... He also wrote another book called The Five People You'll Meet in Heaven. That is another good book, but it's written in a way that makes it a harder read.
Just thought I'd add a comment cause I was talking about Tuesdays with Morrie just yesterday with a buddy. I LOATHE and cannot stand cheezey shit. Man, I used to own 6 different Chicken Soup for the Souls and now I want to vomit every time a story mentions angels or God's will. (God wills it!) But I really liked both Tuesdays with Morrie and The 5 People you Meet in Heaven. Mitch Albom has a way of being honest and clear avoiding the nauseating feeling that usually accompanies most of my reactions to warm fuzzies. I liked both of these books. It makes me think of the book The Diving Bell and the Butterfly written in blinks by a quadropalegic (yeah I spelled that wrong). Short and sweet and a decent, short, inspiring story.
That book...as silly as it may sound...kind of changed my perspective on life. I was going through a series of epiphanies at the time I read it, so I really attached myself to Morrie's whole philosophy on learning how to die before you learn how to live. Very good read.
I started it out in a L.A class once, my teacher was reading it, so when she was done I picked it up. Never finished it, but in the 30 minute reading session I got past half-way in the book. It was good so far. I read the 5 ppl u meet in Heaven. It wasn't spectacular, but a good read. I recomend ppl to read this book if they like thoughtful and inspiring books.
