"Tuesdays with Morrie"

I often hear that "extensive reading" is good for learning English. So I have started to read English book. My first English book is "Tuesday with Morrie". Many people and learning books recommend this book for English learner.

I haven't finished reading but I'm impressed! It's a very good book. Although I can't understand 100% because of English, I am sometimes nearly moved to tears. I will read the Japanese version!!

I recommend it for everyone.
It is a story of one man and his ex-university professor, Morrie. Morrie is dying because of sick and the man and Morrie meet every Tuesday and talk about many kinds of things of life. Although Morrie is dying, he isn't negative and his words are always like "maxim." Actually it makes me sadder.
I'm sorry but I can't explain my emotion in English. Please refer to the following. If you are interested in it, please read it and let me know your impressions.
