What a Lecture!

If you love reading books (no matter what genre) and haven't read The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch, drop everything and get your hands on this book.

Randy Pausch, was a computer science professor who succumbed to pancreatic cancer. Days before he would bid goodbye to his wife and 3 kids, he stepped in front of 400 students of Carnegie Mellon University to deliver his last lecture. Every word he spoke has been captured and authored in this book. Intention was clear. He wanted to share his experiences with the world and in the process help them to realize the happiness of 'Achieving their Childhood dreams.'

A book that I could not put down once I started. This must have been one book that I must have just ran through and while I did that, it just changed the way I looked at things, added to my beliefs and helped me define a path that is more satisfying. A strong recommend.
