Reader Review: This book is such a great book. I had to read it for my college English class and i came to love this book. The purpose behind Mitch Albom’s book is to open people’s eyes, to help them see how they should really be living their lives and what is really important. Albom does this by telling us the real story of his favorite professor Morrie Schwartz who is dying of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and how Morrie teaches his last class, this time there is only one student and the class is about how to live life. You will get such a blessing from reading this book.
It’s been ten years since Mitch Albom first shared the wisdom of Morrie Schwartz with the world. Now–twelve million copies later–in a new afterword, Mitch Albom reflects again on the meaning of Morrie’s life lessons and the gentle, irrevocable impact of their Tuesday sessions all those years ago. . .
_____
Maybe 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.

Tuesdays with Morrie
Chapter One
The Curriculum
The last class of my old professor's life took place once a week in his house, by a window in the study where he could watch a small hibiscus plant shed its pink leaves. The class met on Tuesdays. It began after breakfast. The subject was The Meaning of Life. It was taught from experience.
No grades were given, but there were oral exams each week. You were expected to respond to questions, and you were expected to pose questions of your own. You were also required to perform physical tasks now and then, such as lifting the professor's head to a comfortable spot on the pillow or placing his glasses on the bridge of his nose. Kissing him good-bye earned you extra credit.
No books were required, yet many topics were covered, including love, work, community, family, aging, forgiveness, and, finally, death. The last lecture was brief, only a few words.
A funeral was held in lieu of graduation.
Although no final exam was given, you were expected to produce one long paper on what was learned. That paper is presented here.
The last class of my old professor's life had only one student.
I was the student.
It is the late spring of 1979, a hot, sticky Saturday afternoon. Hundreds of us sit together, side by side, in rows of wooden folding chairs on the main campus lawn. We wear blue nylon robes. We listen impatiently to long speeches. When the ceremony is over, we throw our caps in the air, and we are officially graduated from college, the senior class of Brandeis University in the city of Waltham, Massachusetts. For many of us, the curtain has just come do
...Title: Tuesdays with Morrie December 25, 2012 Tuesday with Morrie is a wonderful book that goes into detail about ALS. It is a very detailed book about what Morrie went through when he first found out that he had als to the point where he is being taken care of by in home people. Its not something that i thought i would read but then i found it to be a good book that i and my daughters have read and are still reading. I recommend this book as well to everyone i know cause ALS is thing that kills you and this guy got to know his college teacher and one day seen him on TV talking about what his life was like and what his life is at that point. My daughters like the part were Morrie is talking to Ted and Morries says that he doesn't want to lose the ability to wipe his a**. I would say read this book if you want a good read.
