the author of these books:

the five people you meet in heaven - "This is a story about a man named Eddie, and it begins at the end when Eddie died in the sun."

tuesdays with morrie - "The last class of my professor's life took one day a week at his house"

and my favorite and long-time dream book:

for one more day - about a guy who happened to ruin his life, killed himself, and had a chance to be with his mother again.

parts with quotation marks are from mitch albom's site.

what can you say about his works? have you learned something from them? i'm a big fan of albom and i've actually had all his books (but i failed to finish the five people you meet in heaven since i watched the movie already. i mean, there's no thrill anymore. but if i find time, i'll definitely do!).
I may be small. But I have big dreams!

Isa pa lang sa books niya ang nababasa ko, Tuesdays With Morrie.

And yup, may natutunan naman. I've learned to live life with no regrets, kasi you never know when your time is up. Naiyak ako nung natapos ko yun. Maganda talaga, sis. :)
It is very difficult to go back and make a brand new start.


But you can always start from now and make a brand new ending.

i've read five people you meet in heaven and for one more day..i can say they're two of the best books i've read..

five people is probably my ultimate favorite because i was interested on who the 5 persons will be. i found it also amusing that he also met a filipino child..

I love him! Ang gaganda ng books niya. Very inspirational. I've read Tuesdays With Morrie and Five People You Meet in Heaven. People say pinakamaganda daw yung Tuesdays With Morrie but personally, I like Five People You Meet in Heaven more. Mas naiyak pa nga ako dun kesa sa Tuesdays with Morrie. Haha! I already have For One More Day but I still don't have time to read it. Maybe I'll start and hopefully finish it on the weekend.

And ang cool pa kasi tumira pala siya dito sa Pilipinas for some time. Not sure when and where kasi nakwento lang yun sakin. Hehe. :D

He's an incredible author. I love his style of writing. I have yet to read his third novel called For One More Day.

it's not finding it in bookstores that's the problem. he's popular, it'll be easy. what's hard it's finding someone who will lend the book to me. kuripot ako pagdating sa ganyan e.  ;D[/color]

I've read all three of his books, I loved Tuesdays with Morrie the most, and my least liked book is For One More Day - but it was still well written, I just didn't like the story, and couldn't really relate to the character/s and the situations being described.

“Tuesdays with Morrie” by Mitch Albom was a nice book I read. This book taught me how to live my life and its meaning. To be not afraid when the time I reach my older age. :P
Happy Teentalk-ing!
