Tuesday’s With Morrie, a rather unusual name for a book, one of those books which I probably wouldn’t have read, umm well wouldn’t have if it wasn’t for a tiff on Brown’s part of the Daily Jolt. See it belongs to one of those genres I simply don’t read, the books which are somehow supposed to make you better at something, to appreciate something, etc, etc, at least that’s what the rear cover seems to say, and that’s what the introduction seems to indicate as well….

But then it’s not that kind of a book, it doesn’t belong to that genre, a lot of it is rather funny and interesting, almost as much as the ProfessorQuote’s on the Daily Jolt, in fact the book is exactly that, quotes from a professor. Morrie Schwartz was a professor at Brandei’s University before he succumbed to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Tuesdays with Morrie is a testament to the final days of his life and all he taught his student while suffering from ALS. It’s amazingly funny, had a story-line to it, and strangely enough sounds like a dialogue you’re having with yourself, so reading the book is a little like talking to yourself, only the other part of you seems slightly more interesting than usual. Oh well it’s a brilliant book.
