My boss gave me a book b4 i left the co. Its "Tuesdays w Morrie" - Mitch Albom, one of my fav authors.. Anw, its a good book.. in the past couple of days i've finished "veronika decides to die" by paulo coehlo and "tuesdays".. both books are great.. coincidentally, both books touched on life and death issues (generally.. but its more than that of cos).. in "Tues", Mitch talks about his dying prof, Morrie. Someone who had made a difference in his schooling life.. like him, i had such a teacher too.. and like him, i lost contact w him.. unlike him who really forgot, i haven got the courage to face him. bUt again, like him, i'm determined to pick up where i left off.. but its not now.. anw, an except fr "Tues":
Okay, question, I say to Morrie. His bony fingers hold the glasses across his chest, which rises and falls with each laboured breath.
"wats the question?" he asked.
Remember the Book of Job?
"From the Bible?"
Right. Job is a good man, but God makes him suffer to test his faith.
"I rem."
Takes away everything he has, his house, his money, his family...
"His health"
Makes him sick.
"To test his faith."
Right, to test his faith. So, i'm wondering...
"What are you wondering?"
What do u think abt that?
Morrie coughs violently. His hands quiver as he drops them by his side.
"I think," he sayd smiling, "God overdid it."
