Personal Essay: Tuesdays With Morrie

I bought a few books when I was a little kid, but I never finished them. They were always sitting on the bookshelf, where I put them. Sometimes I think I am just a book collector, since I don’t read any of them. I don’t have a crazy amount of books, but I do have enough to read often.
