Tuesdays with Morrie

Morrie Schwartz

這是買進“李伯伯最愛的40本書”後開始閱讀書中所推薦的第一本書 ─ 最後14堂星期二的課﹝Tuesdays with Morrie﹞。用了週末下午的幾個鐘頭讀完後,很想看看 Morrie 老人家的面容,仿佛他老人家就在面前對你訴說殘燭將盡的生命體會。

我很喜歡這類型的書,談深刻體驗的生活智慧,但不是八股格言、老生常談式的生活與倫理教育。 當 Morrie 接受夜線訪問,談到回覆來自全國各方信件時,有封信來自一位老師,她的學生大多失去雙親或是只剩單親。Morrie 回信時讚賞她的行為,並且多麼希望當年也有這麼一位老師,可以讓他在年幼喪母時吐露心中的傷痛,因為他是那麼的孤單。說到傷心處,鏡頭前的 Morrie 淚水滑落,甚至哽咽,此時夜線主持人問:你的母親已經過逝近 70 年了,那份心痛仍在嗎?Morrie 的回答讓我非常感動,他是這麼說的:那還用說﹝You bet.﹞。

  1. Hi Apache,

    Guess what! This is one of my favorite books! I can't help crying and laughing with Morrie. He's such an adorable figure. Actually, after I had finished reading this book, I purchased two copies - one for you and the other for Hui-shu - as New Year's gift. You'll soon receive it. I have also recommended this book to many of my friends. You just can't miss it.
