Among the more contemporary books suited for all audiences and tastes, one can't go wrong with Tuesdays With Morrie, by Mitch Albom. This wonderful story of friendship between a professor and student, younger and older, reads like a road map for life, and few there would be who wouldn't glean something of worth from its pages.
Friendship, Forgiveness, Joy, Sorrow, Life, Death . . . the book runs the gamut and is offered up in such frank presentation its a joy to read it, though the subject matter is anything but pleasant.
Book groups and changed lives have been born from its publication, and there is no doubt that Tuesdays will continue to be a book that people will be reading a hundred years from now. It has the status of classic already and seems to be only growing stronger.
One doesn't have to read the book on a Tuesday, either, to find something as a take-away. Any day will do.
