BOOK AFFAIRS- PART 1

I'm halfway reading Tuesday with Morrie by Mitch Albom. I borrowed it from a friend a month ago but wasn't able to finish it.. its a nice book but work, blogging and cable programs always interferes. It's a true story about a young idealistic sports journalist who accidentally meet again his favorite college professor- Morrie Schwartz. The story evolved around this two interesting individual whom forge a special friendship. Morrie Schwartz was dying from a rare disease called Amyotropic Lateral Sclerosis or Lou Gehrig disease, he was a retired college professor at Brandeis University in Massachussets, Mitch Albom was his student in the 70's.

Morrie's story- his fight with his sickness and his fight with death was featured in Ted Koppels program in ABC, accidentally Mitch was watching. Mitch decided to meet his old college professor, that decision will change his life forever. Mitch flew from Detroit to Morries house in Massachussets.. almost 700miles every tuesday. They talk about life, the world, family, emotions and anything under the sun and finally death. This book is wonderful.. full of lessons about everything.. specially about life. Im not yet finish with it but I highly recommend this book.
