Tuesdays with Morrie, autobiographical non-fiction by Mitch Albom, is one among his various international bestseller novels. It topped the New York Times Non-fiction Bestsellers of 2000. The novel is divided into six chapters where the various aspects of life are described by a professor to his student during his last days and is definitely worth of time.
Morrie Schwartz could have been anyone, but the writer really felt that a teacher would do justice to the role. He quotes a saying by Henry Adams, "A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops." Certainly, this book is about a teacher, long forgotten by one of his students, Mitch Albom himself, now an influential journalist as of today, and the relation that was too was forgotten as a matter of time.
