Book Review: Meeting Morrie Through Pages

 Meeting Morrie Through Pages

A deeply personal reflection on “Tuesdays With Morrie”

This book is such a revelation, truly. Throughout the book, it felt like losing a best friend. As if just like Mitch, I was losing somebody close to me too. Morrie was such an inspiration — his strength, his grit, his thoughts — everything is just so unique. I can’t believe I was crying over an old man who died long before I was even born; however, there I was, crying my eyes out over this book.

It’s so hard to believe that there was somebody in reality who had thoughts like this in this world. That Morrie was not a fictional character but somebody real — somebody who had walked this earth, just like us. I could never imagine how God can make people like Morrie and then also create people who are the exact opposite of him in this world.

I’ve shared my complete thoughts on Tuesdays with Morrie— including a deeper look at the characters, themes, and why this book stayed with me — on my Substack newsletter.

Book Review: Babel by R.F.Kuang left me shaken (in the best way possible)

 Babel by R.F.Kuang left me shaken (in the best way possible)

A brutal, brilliant story of language, empire, and the friendships caught in between.

I just want to start this review by saying: this book made me feel everything. Sadness, anger, joy, frustration- you name it. Babel is heavy in every sense of the word- both in size and in the emotions it stirs up.

I’ll admit: I was intimidated before picking this up. Not just because of the book’s sheer thickness, but also because I’d heard R.F. Kuang’s writing can be very literary and demanding. I worried it might feel too academic or even boring. But wow- I couldn’t have been more wrong. This turned out to be one of the most compelling books I’ve ever read.
