I got up at 5am this morning because I couldn't sleep (migraine) and decided to read this book and had it finished by 9.30am (with a little cat nap while I read).

Mitch Albom - Tuesdays with Morrie - 1997 I read this book a while ago and was just reminded about it when reading the author's second boook The Five People you Meet in Heaven.This book is telling the relationship between Mitch Albom and his former university professor. The author hears about his professor falling sick and starts visiting him every Tuesday. It is a very moving and touching book. For me, it was even more personal when I found out that a friend of mine had been diagnosed with ALS a couple of weeks later. (thread first started 22.07.06)
