Another one down!

I just finished reading another good book called "The Last Lecture" by Randy Pausch (memoir)

"When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn't have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave--"Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams"--wasn't about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because "time is all you have...and you may find one day that you have less than you think"). It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living."

Another good one I'd recommend.  I can see why it was a national besteseller.  It's a quick read, but filled with humor, intelligence and good advice.
