Book Review: Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom

Author: Mitch Albom
Publisher: Anchor Books
Pages: 192
Format: Paperback
Published: June, 2007
Price: $ 6.99 -> Rp 87,489 (BookDepository)
Rating: 3 / 5 stars

Date started: November 30, 2014 - Date finished: December 16, 2014

Synopsis:
Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher, or a colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching, helped you see the world as a more profound place, gave you sound advice to help you make your way through it.

For Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his college professor from nearly twenty years ago.

Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded, and the world seemed colder. Wouldn't you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you, receive wisdom for your busy life today the way you once did when you were younger?

Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man's life. Knowing he was dying, Morrie visited with Mitch in his study every Tuesday, just as they used to back in college. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final "class": lessons in how to live.

"Tuesdays with Morrie" is a magical chronicle of their time together, through which Mitch shares Morrie's lasting gift with the world.

November/Birthday Book Haul, Part 2: Drive Books, Not Cars & Gifts/Freebies

/ / / ·

Sunday, November 30, 2014

8 comments

Welcome to the second part of my November/Birthday Book Haul. So for the second part of my haul all of the books in this post are bought from Drive Books, Not Cars. For those of you who don't know what DBNC is, DBNC is a charity drive organized by wonderful people working alongside with Count Me In Indonesia where what they do is they sell cheap secondhand english books at a VERY CHEAP price (from Rp 10,000 - Rp 25,000) only and best of all, each and every cents of the profit goes to help Sahabat Anak and Taman Bacaan Pelangi.

So, obviously I bought a lot of books from this event because I am weak and I can't resist book sales. But I felt justified after buying the books that I'm going to show you because they are all great books and by buying books I'm helping all the children out there that are in need. Here are the books!!
PS: I volunteered to help at this event too!

{The Little But Late} September-October Book Haul

Wednesday, November 5, 2014

[source] edited by me
I know I know you guys are all thinking why am I posting a super late book haul post. Well the answer is simple I am currently facing my mid-term examination week of college and it has been super hectic, endless studying and little time to read my ever-growing TBR pile (agak lebay sih kayaknya) but it's true! So for this book haul I am actually doing a September and October book haul because I kinda forgot to post my September book haul, which I considered to be a nice coincidence since the books I bought in the month of October are so little compared to September and August...

Well, without prolonging this already long introduction here are the books!

Author: Lemony Snicket
Publisher: HarperCollins

Price: $ 6.20 -> Rp 75.764 (Amazon)
Rating: 3½ / 5 stars

Synopsis:
Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are intelligent children. They are charming, and resourceful, and have pleasant facial features. Unfortunately, they are exceptionally unlucky.
In the first two books alone, the three youngsters encounter a greedy and repulsive villain, itchy clothing, a disastrous fire, a plot to steal their fortune, a lumpy bed, a deadly serpent, a large brass reading lamp, a long knife, and a terrible odour.
In the tradition of great storytellers, from Dickens to Dahl, comes an exquisitely dark comedy that is both literary and irreverent, hilarious and deftly crafted. Never before has a tale of three likeable and unfortunate children been quite so enchanting, or quite so uproariously unhappy.

After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one.
Now, it’s the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth’s last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker.
Beguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie’s only hope for rescuing her brother—or even saving herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up.
