20 years ago two life-changing things happened. I read tuesdays with Morrie. Then I began working at The ALS Association Greater Philadelphia Chapter. Both shaped who I am today – Life is a gift. Treasure it. Thank you Mitch Albom for positively changing the lives of so many. This past Sunday I read the NYTimes Book Review piece on “What’s on your nightstand to read…” It’s my goal to at least try to read 1/2 of them.

In reply to Debra McDonald. Sometimes I have a little trouble hearing "20" as well! Wow, all 3 summer reading lists? Same school?

In reply to Harry Mageski. Thank you, Harry, both for your kind words and for all you have done as a teacher. Morrie would be thrilled, indeed, to know that "the teaching goes on."

In reply to Clare Johnson. Unfortunately, Clare, it's not. It's only a paperback edition. A number of people have mentioned they'd love a special leather-bound edition. I don't control the decisions regarding these anniversary edition, but maybe someone should start a petition for a special collector's leather-bound edition for the 30th!

Whenever anyone asks what my favorite novel is I do not have to give it a thought. Tuesdays with Morrie has been my favorite book since it came out. Mitch Albom has a way of drawing the reader in; as if you are the one sitting across from Morrie every Tuesday. I could not put this book down. I can’t believe its been 20 years! Tuesdays with Morrie has been on each of my 3 daughters Summer Reading lists and it’s amazing that another generation has been inspired the way people were when it first came out. Thank you Mr. Albom for touching the hearts of many!

I have enjoyed all of your books, but I am especially fond of Tuesdays with Morrie. I shared the book with my 11th grade students the last 10 years I taught. I would read portions of a chapter or a whole chapter the last 10 minutes of an hour. I would not follow any particular day or order. When the book was finished, usually the last couple weeks of the school year I would then show the movie. Led to many great discussions and some great compositions. I taught English for 35 years.
Thanks for helping me impart a life lesson. The teaching goes on.

I think that you are right that Morrie wasn’t afraid of dying at all. He really didn’t want to be forgotten at all. Now there are millions of people that won’t forget about him at all.
