Tuesdays With Morrie


Tuesdays with Morrie:
An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest
Lesson
[Mitch Albom]


This true story about the love between a spiritual mentor and his pupil has soared to the bestseller list for many reasons. For starters: it reminds us of the affection and gratitude that many of us still feel for the significant mentors of our past. It also plays out a fantasy many of us have entertained: what would it be like to look those people up again, tell them how much they meant to us, maybe even resume the mentorship? Plus, we meet Morrie Schwartz--a one of a kind professor, whom the author describes as looking like a cross between a biblical prophet and Christmas elf. And finally we are privy to intimate moments of Morrie's final days as he lies dying from a terminal illness. Even on his deathbed, this twinkling-eyed mensch manages to teach us all about living robustly and fully. Kudos to author and acclaimed sports columnist Mitch Albom for telling this universally touching story with such grace and humility. --Gail Hudson --


Baca buku ini di awal...
mmmm...kayaknya nggak begitu menarik, tapi karena di rekomendasi sama beberapa orang..ya sutra lah..mulai dibaca.
Ternyata...baru setengah buku, tapi nggak bisa berenti bacanya.
Light story, tapi cukup bermakna..
Banyak kata2 yang begitu dibaca ulang...jadi kepikiran
"Oh iya yaaaa...."
Nggak sabar mau baca yg satunya nih...
