Tuesdays with Morrie

This book should be compulsory reading for everybody. I first heard about "Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom on ABC radio. Morrie was one of Mitch Albom's University lecturers. About 20 years after Mitch left Uni, Morrie appeared on TV after being diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease, which Mitch happened to see. Mitch then started visiting Morrie regularly and wrote about their discussions until Morrie died of the disease. Mitch & Morrie talked about all the big questions in life, ie love, marriage, children, death etc. It is so simply and touchingly written, I was reduced to tears. I found it to be a very "grounding" book that reminded me of what the really important things in life are.
