1. TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE by Mitch Albom, Doubleday, $19.95 (Last week 7, Weeks on list 36)

beloved college professor who is dying agrees to meet each Tuesday with a former student and discuss life and death. Albom, a well-known sportswriter, recorded 14 "classes" with his former teacher Morrie Schwartz. Religion, family, friends, and work are carefully considered.
