Tuesdays with Morrie...
I just finished re-reading Tuesdays with Morrie an awesome book by Mitch Albom. First off let me say he is a great writer. His books, I am sure aren't for everyone but to me really seem to give something to all his readers no matter which book. I am not one who re-reads books very often but Mitch's books are an exception to the rule. I have read most of his books at least twice. 

Back to my the book. I read this book the first time (of course) immediately after it's publishing. I have aged a few years and I seem to get so much more out of this book this time reading it. I look at books differently now than I did. I like to look deeper than I used to while I read. I dissect the reading more. Maybe I am taking something different with me each time I read.

My type of books are still eclectic. Never know what I am going to pick up. The other night Morris ask me what I was currently reading ( I had my kindle in hand) I told him a couple of different books. 2 were for a class I was currently teaching so I could talk to the kids about what was going on in the book and another one just because I had read the author before and like her book so I was trying another of hers. He was kind of surprised that I had no idea what this book was even going to be about. I told him it was about life that's all I knew I was only in the first chapter. I may not finish it time will tell. I go back to books later a lot if I don't get to finish them. Sometimes at that time I will enjoy them more.   

Tuesdays with Morrie is about a college professor of Mitch's who he discovers is dying from the illness ALS. He rediscovers his friendship with him and subsequently puts together this book. It's not that his illness that draws me this time in the book it's how he dissects life itself to way of understanding that we are all dying. Since I am getting older and my life is very busy and at times stressful, his way of teaching and sharing touched home for me. I know I won't implement all of his great advice, but I am going to look at a few areas and make some changes. 

Here we are again. Summer has ended. Fall is here and it's starting to turn cold. I just don't like the cold. I hate wearing a coat. I don't mind early fall that isn't so bad but when that wind turns to the north and a front comes thru that brings in really nippy weather I realize summer is really gone. I don't like everything turning brown. Don't get me wrong I do love a really comfy pair of pants and big comfy shirt but I don't want to have to wear a coat outside. Defrosting the windows, warming up the vehicles is just not my cup of tea. So now that I am whining we can add static electricity to that. Another downfall of cold weather. Yep I'm ready for warmer horizons and it's just the middle of October. Boy am I in for a big surprise.

While Sub Teaching I noticed a book on the teachers shelf that intrigued me. Normally Dr. Seuss isn't a thing for me but today I saw something interesting. Seuss-isms! by Dr. Seuss. A guide to LIfe for those just starting out... and those already on their way.
This book has quotes from different Dr. Seuss books compiled in one. Life quotes that are really interesting to put into place. Quotes with a little zest and twist to them. 
I found a book by him that I had never heard of and will be reading I had trouble getting to Solla Sollew.
I like this quote the best: But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready, you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with ME!
I found this book interesting check it out sometime.
