Review title: Shoulda Been Tuesday's With Somebody Else
Product review: This book is Exhibit A as to why people love asking barbers,beauticians,bartenders and cab drivers for advice or therapy-rather than "intellectuals".My mother of blessed memory was a non-college graduate,who fought cancer for thirteen years-and on her worst day had more worthwhile things to say than Morrie does in this book;I assume the same is true for most"non-professors" as well.Albom informs us that Morrie was "bornJewish,but became an agnostic when he was a teenager,partly because of all that happened to him as a child.."This is nonsense-people who have religious faith don't become agnostics because of hard times.And Morrie's use of Auden's quote,"Love each other or perish,"-is sort of like the quote on the statue in 'Animal House':"Knowledge is good."Hopefully,the sequel to this pompous bore of a book will be about Morrie the cab driver.
