Tuesdays With Morrie - Mitch Albom

I across this book actually from a letter my high school friend sent to me a long time ago. He loved the book and was inspired by the knowledge and lesson from this book. But I did not take the time to find this book until recently. Actually I found the movie first which was made based on the story of the book, when I was browsing for my weekend movie.

This movie was released in 1999. It is about a guy named Mitch became caught up with his career as a sport commentator and journalist. He ignored his girlfriend and did not make time to do things in life that are of the most value to a human being. Morrie was one of Mitch's professors in college and a famous scholar. One day Mitch was watching television and saw Morrie giving an interview stating that he is dying of Lou Gehrig disease or ALS.

The movie has a rating of 7.2/10 at IMDB at this moment. I liked the movie and I think the book would be more interesting. You know what people say about movie aren't as good as the book.

So after a while I finally take the time to find the book. The book has only 56 pages so it is not so bad. Cause any reading especially textbook more than 20 pages usually give me headache. Out of my surprise, I actually love the book and enjoy reading it. I am totally submerged in the story and lesson of the book and I completely forgot about the length of the book. I definitely recommend this book to anyone to read it. It is a short book but it teaches you some life lesson that you don't usually learn in the classroom.

Update: I found an online link of the book in PDF from King Saud University (KSU) website. You could give it a try by clicking here to view the PDF.
