This book is about a professor at Brandeis University, Morrie Schwartz, and a sports writer, Mitch Albom, who wrote this book. At Brandeis University Morrie taught the lessons of life and this book is about the last months of Morrie’s life.

At his graduation Mitch promised Morrie he would keep in touch, but he didn’t. Sixteen years later, Mitch is a sports writer. In 1995, Mitch saw Morrie on Nightline being interviewed by Ted Koppel. Morrie was talking about a fatal disease he had, ALS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or Lou Gehrig’s disease. So Mitch decided to go to West Newton, Massachusetts to visit Morrie.

Morrie had this disease for a while and it made his muscles stop working, By the time Mitch arrived, Morrie was in a wheelchair. Since Morrie and Mitch had always seen each other in college on Tuesdays for classes, they started talking every Tuesday about the meaning of life. I recommend this book to anyone who doesn’t mind sad books. It was a good book.
