Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom

This book is the story of a man who finds many souring qualities in his life, and meets his old professor from college, Morrie Schwartz, who has been diagnosed with ALS. ALS is a disease that slowly deteriorates the nervous system's ability to control muscular functions in the body, eventually leading to total paralysis, which is also death. There is no cure. Morrie and Mitch reflect on their lives and how well they were spent, and Mr. Schwartz showed Albom that life is best spent without a negative look on it.

Personally, I feel like I have no more to write on this book. I heard about it when I was in seventh grade, and finally felt like picking it up. Sure it was nonfiction but, it seemed a bit boring. I respect Mr. Albom's story and it is somewhat heartwarming, but I guess it just wasn't a good read for me.
