Mother's Memorable Read

Well, to start of, my mother was never quite much of a reader(no offence mom!) Ask her what book she has read and she will take only a few seconds to tell you that she only remembers one book:Tuesdays With Morrie. Sure, she cannot really remember the details of the book clearly, but she mentioning this book almost instantly after my questioning should mean something about it!

By the way, for those of you who have never read it, it is basically a book on life, each chapter about a different aspect of life.From forgiveness to regrets, the topics are somewhat inspiring at times.In a way, my mother was generally moved by how Morrie lived his live to the fullest, up to his last breath.Her favourite part of the story is also when Morrie says goodbye to the author before he dies.It is very emotional at that part.The story is also based on a true account by its author!(Morrie, rest in peace)

To be honest, the first time I read this book was years ago, and I was actually quite bored by its relatively simple contents.However, when I read it maybe a few months back, I was pretty impressed by it.Kudos to Mitch Albom for such a read!

  1. I had it recommended to me by a vice-principal in Canada. He enjoyed it more than I did, but it was kind of moving. I think I'm a little too cynical for these types of stories/memoirs.
