Tuesdays with Morrie is a very beautiful, true story of Albom re-connecting with his university professor as the professor (Morrie) is dying. There are no great revelations in the book, but the story of what the men mean to each other and Morrie's desire to pass on his feelings about the most important things in life are very compelling. Morrie is a great man in alot of ways, though you feel there are many men and women like him, who live good lives with and for other people. It is well-told by Albom, the story is simple with little interludes. A meaningful and somehow tranquil, though sad, book.
