Tues with Morrie. I bought the book after seeing this book everyday when I am browsing in Borders and Kino and my curiosity arises even more when I was reading "Who will cry when you die", where the author recommended "Tues with Morrie".
It was a tiny book, so much smaller than the previous books I have read before. It's cover was nothing fanciful, no captivating graphics, no embossing, no lamenting. Text were about a size 9, printed on yellowish paper. The moment I started reading the first page, I cant stop. The relation of the author and his "coach" seems like a father and son.
Everyday before I start continuing reading the book, my heart felt heavier. Each chapter draws me nearer to Morrie's approaching death. Many times, I have to pause reading and shut the book, fighting back my tears and calming myself down. The dying man's words has shown me the side of life I thought no one in this world will ever agree with me. But now that I have become, behaving just like his student (the author), I felt ashame of how much in life I have missed and regretted.
Tues with Morrie is the final thesis Mitch and Morrie did together. It will be the book I strongly recommend anyone, at least everyone, should have in their bookshelf.
