This quote from the afterword made me tear up:
"I said, 'Hello Morrie. This is Mitch Albom. I was a student of yours in the 70s. I don't know if you remember me.'
'How come you didn't call me Coach?' he said. "

This book is a memoir yet I didn't grow to like the characters. I suppose it was more about the thoughts anyway.
The themes discussed were educative and I believe to have learned something. Some influenced me more, the one talking about family, others not so much, the one talking about love. Learning more about the professor's disease was enriching too.
Page 73, should I have children?
you should have children."
Page 80, experiencing life vs detachment.
The end was expected. I didn't feel strongly about it.
Overall a good short book. It has some wisdom told by someone who's dying. Perhaps then we can finally see what's important and thanks to that the book captures this.

On the other hand, it made me think of the people in my life like Morrie, and I should reach out to them more.
