If I were to save any book, it would be Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom. This book was written in 1997 and is a true story about a sociologist named Morrie Schwartz and his relationships with his students; one in particular Mitch Albom. Morrie was a professor who was dying from Lou Gehrig's disease. Once Albom graduated from college, he became a columnist for the Detroit Free Press. He didn't see Morrie for 16 years before reuniting with him, because he saw his face on T.V.. Morrie Schwartz and Mitch Albom end up meeting every Tuesday to discuss lifes greatest lessons and treasures. This book is about an old man and a young man finding what the have in common. Every Tuesday, Morrie teached Mitch lessons that involve happiness, love, communication, acceptance, communication, values, and the importance of openness. I personally have read this book a few times and with each read, I learn another important lesson. This book is an eye opener that will never stop grabbing my attention, and holds my heart in it's hand because nothing in between the cover and the back cover is made up. It is a book that doesn't hide reality.
