a;ghfds;gh;g I finished this book in a day. I couldn't put it down. It was so sad, but so amazingly awesome. cry.gif I'm sure many of you have read this already, considering it's fairly new and a quick, easy read. What were your favorite Morrie aphorisms? rolleyes.gif Oh, and is the movie version worth watching?

"Learn to detach.
But that detachment doesn't mean you don't let the experience penetrate you. On the contrary, you let it penetrate it you fully. That's how you are able to leave it.
But by throwing yourself into these emotions, by allowing yourself to dive in, all the way, over your head even, you experience them fully and completely. You know what pain is. You know what love is. You know what grief is. And only then can you say, 'All right. I have experienced that emotion. I recognize that emotion. Now I need to detach from that emotion for a moment.' "

Read The Five People You Meet In Heaven! I personally liked it a lot more.
