I haven't read Tuesdays With Morrie, but it's been recommended to me by a lot of customers. It is cheesey, and I think it's a bit strangely written - it skips so much that could be interesting - but I'm still enjoying it.

I know someone that received this book as a b-day present, weird. Anyway, it disappointed me too. There was an emptiness when I finished that book. It was a fable without a moral. Tuesdays with Morrie was sooo much better. Then I read Morrie in his Own Words. Now I think the great writing was from the teacher. Morrie was revolutionary for his time. He went into therapy before it was fashionable.

I might have to chase up Morrie in his Own Words - Fie People had me tired before it finished. It somehow very much lacked humanity.

that book has been sitting around my house (dorm building) at uni. but I haven't read it yet.

I've finished it and I have to say, it was a lot of effort for not much result.

i really don't like when that happens.

one book that started with my forcing myself to read a few pages each night but then became impossible to put down was "th Touch" by Collen Mccoullough. Books like that make me push through other books because i know sometimes they end up being great, other times not!

It's frustrating, though, when you've made all that effort, and the end is tripe.
