Thursdays with NX

In 1997, Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom began its huge run on the bestseller lists. The book is a touching story about how a wise, older professor gave important life lessons to a former student, during regular Tuesday meetings in the months leading up to the professor’s eventual death.
