Mitch Albom's Three Books

i've finished reading his three books, for one more day, tuesdays with morrie and the five people you meet in heaven. thanks to jon, it was him letting me restore the joy of reading which i've forgotten for quite a long time.
mitch albom is such a great writer. i seldom read english books, but with his 细腻的笔触, i was totally emerged into the world he created. through his writing, 我看见人性的光辉.
jon asked which one i like the best. i have to say it's really hard to choose since these three books are very different. the five people you meet in heaven is a fascinating novel, you cannot move your eyes from this book while you're reading it. for me, it's a great novel and that's it. regarding the other two, i have to say i like them both so much and cannot tell which one is my better love. just like i cannot tell which son i like better. these two books are different, from my point of view. tuesdays with morrie is a book full of wisdom of a great person, i cried so much when i was reading the book. i have to say maybe it's because i read this book with the age i am now. i can relate so many things and so many experiences from those wisdom words. as to other book, for one more day, i read this book first and i love it so much. this book reminds me of the movie i like the best, field of dreams. i was touched deeply by those touching feeling either in the movie or in the book. for me, the above two books are the symbol of sense and sensibility, you need both to make you a human being.
jon said he likes tuesdays with morrie and ken likes for one more day the best. quite funny, this showed the difference of their characteristic. jon is a more 理性and ken is more 感性. it's hard to imagine that jon will be a 理性的人 when he was young, but gradually he developed into this catagory. on the contrary, it's really difficult to know that ken is a 感性的人 , maybe it's because he is an engineer and he was trained to be 理性. but i always remind myself that ken is a cancer, he has the softest heart with hard shell.
i'm glad that through these two books, i touched inside of my two boys' hearts. i relate many things to their thoughts aslo to mine. so i cannot tell you which one i like better........i believe when jon and ken reach to my age, they will say the same thing since they need both sense and sensibility to make them complete.
