The book I am reading is Tuesday's with Morrie, and so far it is about a guy who has a major illness and the doctors gave him about 2 years to live. But over the course of those months in the first year, Morrie has made the best of it. He still had continued his daily routine as a teacher in a university. But he was going to retire anyway due to his illness. He had told his students as soon as he got into the classroom. As the time went by Morrie had lost a lot of weight and had gotten so skinny that it looks like you were able to see his bones. And soon after that he wasn't able to do things on his own, he was too weak.
Basically the story was a flashback within a flashback, it was almost told from his perspective, but it wasn't, and after each chapter, there would be another flashback within the flashback that shows his years in high school. A quote that I found interesting n the book was, :finally, one student, a thin, quiet, dark-haired girlwhom I notice almost always wears bulky white fisherman sweaters, crosses her arms over her chest, closes her chest, leans back, and does not flinch, like one of those lipton tea commercials where the model splashes into the pool. Basically I chose this quote because I thought that it was saying don't believe what your eyes tell you. Your eyes will lie to you. See with your body, not your eyes. This quote was on pages 60-61.
