A book hasn't hit me this hard ever. A great book on the views of life and death, and a recomindation to everyone who wants to read a heavy, emotional book. It really makes me sit and think about how I am living my life, and how i want to live the rest of it.

This is written by Mitch Album if my memory serves me well as it can get some what scattered at times. I remember reading this a year or two ago at my Dad's suggestion and I was thrilled I took up his advice, what a wonderful novel, great theme. Really makes you want to or at least hope and strive to enjoy the simple things in your daily life, fuck regrett live it now becuase this wonderful thing called your life will not be around forever.

It's moving to watch the documentary that goes along with this book. I believe the author is going to be doing a follow up book as well.

He's a damn fine sports columnist, too.

Isn't he still on probation for reporting something that didn't actually happen?

No idea. I don't actually get around to reading his columns as much as I used to. So I guess I should have stated, "He was at one time a damn fine sports columnist, but I am currently unaware of his damn fineness in regards to athletic reporting."

that book is badass and moving.

my bro has had this book for awhile maybe i'll check out

I read this book six years ago when it came out, and then I watched the television movie for it with Jack Lemmon and Hank Azaria. The novel was very pure and written very simply, but that worked because the story was so moving and the character of Morrie was so meaningful. The movie was good to the book, and Jack Lemmon did a great job on this very dear character.

Albom already did do a follow-up to this one, and it was called The Five People You Meet in Heaven. That one was decent as well. That one became less personal though, and I think the power in Tuesdays With Morrie came from it being a personal account. Mitch reflected on how Morrie's chats changed him personally. He just went through a period of his life that was so amazing that he had to put it down in print.

As much as I loved Tuesdays With Morrie, I kind of got the idea that Albom was writing a novel just because he thought it was a good moment to share - I didn't expect him to write any more outside of his columns, and again, the idea of the book was just a true story from his life, and that's what gave it such intensity. With the next one, the simple style didn't work as well for me. Some people loved it though, so it's just a matter of opinion. I don't know if he plans on writing yet another or if he's continuing with his column... This novel is great and it's wonderful that he shared it in print.

I swear to God if you ever write a book I'll be first in line. I'd give you a "best poster here" award if you weren't a stinking Eagles fan.
