Mitch Albom- "Tuesdays With Morrie"

This is Mitch Albom. He is the author who wrote the novel "Tuesdays With Morrie". Mitch Albom is actually featured in the novel as one of the main characters. Mitch's original goal in life was to be a musician, but while he was living in New York, he discovered that he was interested in jounalism. To help pay for his tuition at his University, he worked with a sports magazine, and played the piano at some of the night clubs. Mitch began to be interested in sports writing while he was working with the sports magazine.A couple years later Mitch's breakthrough novel was "Tuesdays With Morrie". Nobody actually wanted to publish this book, until Doubleday ( a publishing company ) fulfilled Mitch's wishes and published the book, and this helped pay off Mitch's tuition fees. "Tuesdays with Morrie" slowly climbed to number one after 6 months, and now there is going to be a movie based on this book. It should be a good one, if its anything like the book.
