I know am so late for Girls Talk. Apology please. I have been thinking on what to choose between these two books that made me cry. You know how much cry baby i can be so i had a hard time choosing between Tuesdays with Morrie and The Wedding by Nicholas Sparks.
This entry has been put on hold for days already! So my share for Girls Talk this week is… Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom
Read it! Promise it will make you cry! If you haven’t here’s a short sum i got from wikipedia.
Tuesdays with Morrie is a 1997 non-fiction novel by American writer Mitch Albom. The story was later adapted by Thomas Rickman into a TV movie of the same name directed by Mick Jackson, which aired on 5 December 1999 and starred Jack Lemmon and Hank Azaria. The book topped the New York Times Non-Fiction Bestsellers of 2000.
It tells the true story of sociologist Morrie Schwartz and his relationship with his students. One student in particular (Mitch Albom) plays an important part. After saying that he will keep in touch with Morrie on his graduation, Mitch hears nothing of his old professor until one night on T.V. he sees Morrie being interviewed. Morrie has ALS, a terminal disease. Mitch begins to visit his professor and soon realizes that, though he has grown remarkably, he still has a lot to learn about values. Both the film and the book chronicle the lessons about life that Mitch learns from his professor.
It must be a beautiful book indeed to have made you cry. People who cry at poignant stories have sensitive hearts that feel empathy for characters in the story. Thanks for for the post. God bless you all always.
ang late daw may fine. LOL. parehas tayo ng pick woot! grabe ganda neto no? ahay gusto ko nga uli basahin. parang gusto ko na naman umiyak. haha!
I love Mitch Albom books, too!
I have not been joining Girls Talk, and I wanted to rejoin. Where can I see the themes for the succeeding posts? Thanks!
