Tuesdays with Morrie

Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom is one of the saddest books I've ever read (the number one title still belongs to Ella Enchanted). The book was about a young man and a teacher from his past. The memoir consists of Albom's last few weeks spent with Morrie, his college professor, and the lessons he learned from him in the meantime. Morrie is dying, and although the book is centered around his coming death, the lessons are about life. The book's only fault was being a little cliche, but don't let that stop you from reading it. We've heard most of the lessons before (i.e. take some time to stop and smell the roses), but the way Albom expresses them through the dialogue between Morrie and himself is beautiful. It's definitely one of those stories you never forget.
