I read this book thinking to gain information about ALS, but that's not really what it's about. In spite of dealing with death, this short little book is about life and love and enjoying what you have when things look the most bleak. It's more about giving and accepting than about losing.Morrie Schwartz, losing his body bit by bit to Lou Gerhig's disease, offers what is in his heart and mind and, in doing so, lives life rather fully to the very end. His former student, Mitch Albom, visiting on Tuesdays, accepts the gift of his mentor's humor and wisdom, and then passes it on to us along with Morrie's biggest lesson: "Love wins."I laughed and cried and was content at the end, in spite of Morrie's inevitable death.
