How did you find Tuesdays with Morrie? Oh, thanks for asking! I liked it... I was glad it was short though, it was a little cheesy, but it was also cute and it made me smile. If it was any longer, I would have been annoyed. -------------------- My most recent blog: A trip to Toronto that turned into a trip to Niagara

I'm trying to get him to read more, but he's convinced that books are "boring." Any good book recommendations for a 13 (almost 14) year old boy???
