If you haven't read The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch then you should go out today and get it. I rarely come upon a book I think everyone should read but this is one of them. This is a book written by a man who has 3-6 months to live because of Pancreatic Cancer. He gave a last lecture at the college he used to work at entitled achieving your childhood dreams--its a famous one--you can google it and watch it. In this book, he expands more on his life and how is lucky to have lived as much as he has lived. He gives us pearls of wisdom to live by in a funny, quirky computer geek way. I read this book in one evening its short but profound. Has anyone else read it or seen the Last Lecture he gave? What did you think?

I've seen some of the lecture. I actually have his blog bookmarked on my computer. That would be fantastic if he were to survive this cancer. I already think he's lived way longer than what the doctor's thought.

He has. There is a blog page where you can keep up with his progress. I want to watch the lecture when I have some free time.
