I am absolutly in love with the simple beauty in this book. The perspective it gives to death and to life, the simple concept of with out love there is no life... I thought it was beautiful... im going to read it again in fact... probebly right now. A nice story... "The story is about a little wave, bobbing along in the ocean, having a grand old time. He's enjoying the wind and the fresh air- until he notices the other waves in front of him, crashing against the shore. 'My god, this is terrible, the wave says. 'Look what's going to happen to me!' Then along comes another wave. It seems the first wave, looking grim, and it says to him, 'why do you look so sad?' the first wave says, 'you dont understand! we're all going to crash! All of us waves are going to be nothing! "Isnt that terrible?' The second wave says, 'No you dont understand. You're not a wave, your part of the ocean."
That's a lovely story. I have this book and read it a little while ago. Love it. It really is a beautiful, thought provoking read, which deals with inevitability of our mortality. Morrie's attitude is very real & inspiring. Have you read another book of Mitch Albom's called: The Five People You Meet in Heaven?
just from that lil' bit you mentioned I want to read it, i just went to my library and looked for it~ but it's checked out until may darnit
its good. i read the 5 people you mean in heaven as well...good stuff. tuesdays with morey had alot of inspirational ideas, but some seemed a bit cliche
i read tuesdays with morrie this year and it really was a very good book. I saw the paly as well which was wonderful. Every time i would finishing reading a couple of chapters on the bus or in study hall, i would spend almost the entire day reflecting very good book.
