Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom

There's not a lot to say about this book (I lie, look at this post length!). It is short, a very quick read if you're a reader. I do have some criticisms which I'll discuss because I enjoy being critical. Mitch reconnects with his former professor Morrie, who is dying from ALS, and they discuss the meaning of life. I recommend this book. It makes you think about life and what's meaningful. It encourages meaningful and thoughtful reflection. It advocates for goodness, for love, for kindness. I might have read this book in high school, but then I definitely read it in my early 20s. I believe it hit me fairly differently now than it did back then. Back then I had a much less developed perspective on the challenges and meaning of life, so this book took the role of a wise guru who knows what's right. Now, it strikes me as just a man, who's speaking about his own life, his own experiences, his own sense of meaning - even if much of the language is presented as a teaching lesson to be taken…
