Tuesdays with Morrie

Atlast I was made to read a book!!! After a long time.. !!! And I happily started as it was an e-book!! The book, "Tuesdays with Morrie", is about an old man dying of ALS and his teachings to his student on the verge of leaving the world! This is a nice story... Fully philosophical explaining many dimensions of life.. The best one being "love"!! It shows ways of expressing love.. And the best thing i loved in it is this scence..

The old man, Morrie, has become dumb and his old friend has become deaf by the time.. Morrie was interviewed for a TV show where he was questioned "What would you do if you meet your old friend?".
“We will hold hands,” Morrie said. “And there’ll be a lot of love passing between us. We’ve had thirty-five years of friendship. You don’t need speech or hearing to feel that.”
I love these lines..

P.S.: Thanks to Sruthi Kannan for making me read this.. I became so involved that I went home early just for reading it!!!

Hey, If u remember my first post on 'Detached!', it was derived after reading this book.. u can see some phrase similarites.. nice u started with this kinda book.. rather than the usual routine of nancydrew-sherlockholmes-sidneysheldon style ;) :) it being a small and light book, apt choice for a starter.
