Tuesdays with Morrie
Tuesdays with Morrie | Mitch Albom
A classic from the author of The First Phone Call from HeavenMaybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher, or a colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching, helped you see the world as a more profound place, gave you sound advice to help you make your way through it.For Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his college professor from nearly twenty years ago.Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded, and the world seemed colder. Wouldn't you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you, receive wisdom for your busy life today the way you once did when you were younger?Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man's life. Knowing he was dying, Morrie visited with Mitch in his study every Tuesday, just as they used to back in college. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final class: lessons in how to live.Tuesdays with Morrie is a magical chronicle of their time together, through which Mitch shares Morrie's lasting gift with the world.From the Trade Paperback edition.

Honestly, not looking forward to this IRL bookclub selection. The bookclub is pretty new and this is the second NF self-helpishy book. 😏

I‘m sure it will be “fine”, but I‘m not expecting more.

Ruthiella Another reason I‘ve never joined an IRL book club. But hey, the discussion may turn out to be amazing? And there‘s food and drink, right? 5mo
Tamra @Ruthiella not really. It would be way more fun with some wine! 😆 5mo
Suet624 @Ruthiella same. I always used to back out of IRL book clubs so now I just say no. 5mo

Not my cup of tea. I think I lack the emotional sensitivity for books like this.. but I was genuinely captivated by Morrie's perception and acknowledgment of death. For that, I consider him lucky. Sure, a terminal illness is a terrible thing! Yet Morrie got to say goodbye on his term, surrounded by loved ones, and with no word left unspoken. I've lost too many friends who only had a few seconds to make peace with their god and find resolution.

A sweet book about the friendship between teacher and student, rediscovered in later life, and how together they face Morrie‘s illness and death. Not my usual sort of read but I enjoyed it nonetheless (although, at risk of sounding like I have a heart of stone, I did find it a *little* too saccharine for me in parts)…

TrishB I read one of his and it was way too soppy for me! So you‘re ok 😁 8mo
JillR @trishb I have to say it didn‘t inspire me to read his other books. I‘m not really a big fan of memoir/nonfiction either, hence this wasn‘t really my thing. Read it as someone highly recommended but it shows how reading tastes are so very different! 8mo
quietlycuriouskate I often find "heart-warming" books far too sweet for my taste. 8mo

This one languished on my shelf for years after I bought it when I was much younger. I frankly thought it would be treacly, and it is, a bit, but Morrie has the right idea about how to live and how to die. It‘s a good reminder, especially in our current social media focused world that he never saw (I‘m quite sure he‘d be horrified).

Easily one of my favorite books. It‘s a kind of an end-of-life recording of events between a professor and past student. It reminds you to appreciate the little things in life. I often come back to it when I‘m feeling emotionally/mentally unwell. I recommend this book to anyone & everyone.

Having seen on TV a professor of his from 16 years ago who is now dying, a sports writer gets in touch to write a book about how much more important relationships are than money and thus make lots of money.

Perhaps overly cynical, but I can recognise that the book's touched a cultural nerve and led to important conversations while finding it platitudinous, skidding to a halt every time it came close to developing in an interesting direction.

I'm a day late😊

1. I usually do on January 6, but this year I had been sick with COVID the week before Christmas and wasn't really in the holiday spirit, so it came down on December 26th.

2. It's quite and I can cuddle with a book, my Furbaby in a cozy blanket with a cup of coffee or tea😊

I‘ve been interested in this book since my grandfather mentioned it when I was a lot younger. Now that I‘ve finally read it, I did enjoy it and I know it will always make me think of him. Not something that I would have read otherwise, but still very sweet

Yay! Its been weeks! Its good to be back 🤪

Tuesdays with Morrie - my currently read. Ive been reading this book since last week but because of doing not so important things, I cant finished reading it. Hopefully I have time to finished it now. Its great book (I mean all books of M.A) that can give you umpteen life lessons.

Have you read this book? What‘s your thought about it?

This is a beautiful story about a man and his teacher and the life lessons they share together. It really shows a side of humanity that is pure and good and heartwarming. The lessons were valuable in this book and even though this was sad, it really was insightful and important. It‘s a quick read and I enjoyed the fact that the author really paid tribute to his beloved teacher in this book.

7.4/10

“As long as we can love each other and remember the love we had, we can die without ever really going away. All the love you created is still there, all the memories you created are still there. You live on in the hearts of everyone you have touched and nurtured while you were here. Death ends a life not a relationship.”

“If we know in the end we can have peace with dying we can finally do the really hard thing make peace with living.”

The book is wonderfully illustrating the powerful student-teacher/coach relationship and Morrie's original and wise attitude in front of his demise.
I understand the love and appreciation for the author and Morrie from the people who followed their story closely and the Nightline interview shows, but throughout the entire book I felt like I kept waiting for some remarkable and never heard of pieces of advice to come and they never did.

Finished my #bookspin 😁 @TheAromaofBooks this one has been on my to be read list for a while. Glad the random number generator gave me this one this month. It was nice. A pleasant few hours spent contemplating what's important to you before you die. A nice reminder to slow down and enjoy your time.

Rating: 4 ⭐
The power of Morrie shines through every page of this book.
Morrie the dying man who was trying to teach people how to live and what's important in life.
Morrie is telling everyone that love, family, friends and happiness complete each others to give you the ultimate satisfaction. He was reminding us that love goes on forever and death isn't the end of relationship.

1. Well, my TBR is off the charts and unorganized but I mostly do have titles in mind that are new releases or maybe TBRs that I feel like I want a copy of. But I have to think about making a recent list every once in a while because I mostly just buy on a whim!

I read this several years ago, and thought it would be great as an audiobook, especially since Mitch Albom read it. Since this was the 20th anniversary edition, they included some of the recordings Mitch made of Morrie, at the end of the book. I'm glad I took the time to listen to this one!

I am not a cold-hearted person. Really, I'm not. See the cute dog pictured in this review??

That being said, I thought this book, that is loved by so many, was only okay.

There was nothing here that any of us haven't heard a hundred times before. The audiobook was under 4 hours long, but I felt like I would never get to the end.

When I did reach the end, however, I enjoyed Albom's afterword and actually hearing the voice of Morrie.

I was given this as a present by a friend who assured me it would destroy me ... she was right and she was wrong. Did I weep like a willow in the rain? Yes. Yes I did. 😭 But I also found that this book, so simply beautiful and profound, has shone a little light in my soul. 💡 Everyone should read this. It‘s sweet and honest and reminds you of the important things in life. “Love each other or die.”
