Tuesdays With Morrie

Has anyone read this book? It is one of my favorite books of all time, and last night I went to hear the author, Mitch Albom, speak. He was absolutely brilliant. Tuesdays With Morrie is pretty much about the meaning of life, and Mitch Albom speaks exactly as he writes. I came away with a lot to think about and have been feeling a little reflective ever since.

He has a new book out called "For One More Day" about what you would do if you could have one more day back with a person who has passed on - who would it be and what would you do/say?

I LOOOOOOOVE that book. I read it at least once a year to remind myself to appreciate my life and the people in it. (cheesy I know, but it works for me)
How awesome that you got to hear him speak, I wish could have gone!
Did you get his new book? I'd love to hear what you think Emma!

I sure did! I've started reading the book he wrote just before this new one called "Five People We Meet in Heaven" first, but will definitely let you know what I think! He read some passages from "For one more day" last night and it sounds like a real tearjerker.

I'm not sure who I would have back for one more day, I am fortunate to still have both of my parents, altho I must confess that after hearing Mitch Albom speak last night I rang them to tell them how much I love them coz I don't do that often enough.

I'd probably choose my nana. My life kind of spiralled out of control a bit after she died (I was 15), and I guess I'd just like to show her my beautiful kids coz I know she'd love them, and to let her know that I'm OK, and I hope she's proud of me.

But tending towards being religious a part of me knows that she knows all that already.

i might get around to it one day...one day when the child sleeps......

Oh I loved Tuesdays with Morrie, I ordered it especially after I saw him on Oprah (years ago), I've read probably two more times, and used a passage out of it for our wedding ceremony.

Haven't read his new books yet, but definitely will when I can find them in the stores!

I also love that book!!! I read it to a class of year 7 / 8 kids I had one year (12 - 13 yrs old). They were pretty amazed. I think it made them realise there's more to life than just themselves.

I think I would also meet with my granddad. He died when I was 6...

Also... (i'm not sure if this relly goes with the topic, but...) I'm going to a physic for the first time in May and apparently she feel passed ones around you. I hope this hasn't upset anyone. If it does, please let me know and I can delete it.

Emma you have my dream job!

Robyn, I think we are quite similar - so many things you say are the same as me (like the wedding thing, which by the way I have given up on for now!). One of my new years resolutions was to read 50 books this year - so far have read 11 so not too far off track. Sorry gone OT again

Aimee I agree! (an if you ever go ahead with you know what let me know!)

Would anyone else be interested in reviewing/discussing books or is everyone to busy with children to read!

Oh I love books!! I'd be keen.
