Rating: Summary: Why don't we make our own culture? Review: If you are reading this, you might read this book, "Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom already, or if not, I bet you are going to love it, because it is very clear and great to read. And you can not stop reading it after you start reading it. I don't want to talk about the story because other people already told you. But I want to introduce you my favorite aphorism of Morrie's; " The culture we have doesn't make us feel good." I've been suffering a lot with the culture. Why don't we make our own culture? Let's do it!
Rating: Summary: A Story of Love and Wisdom Review: When Mitch Albom, a sports writer for the "Detroit Free Press, accidentally discovered that his college professor and mentor of twenty years ago, Morrie Schwartz, was dying from ALS (commonly known as Lou Gehrig's Disease), he felt compelled to fly to Massachusetts to renew the old relationship. The first Tuesday meeting led to weekly meetings every Tuesday for the next twelve weeks during which Schwartz once again became the mentor and Albom the pupil. In simple and effective language, Albom chronicles these meetings which served to fill a need in each man's life. For the dying Schwartz, the meetings became an oasis of friendship, love, and purpose on which he could focus during his time of terrible suffering. For Albom the meetings became a prism through which he could see facets of his own life with greater clarity.The story is inspirational rather than maudlin. It forces readers to reflect on the fact of their own mortality and on the state of their relationships with those who are closest to them. I found it deeply moving. I recommend the book to you.
