So, I'm not up on current events. I happened on this book by chance and started reading it in the store. I guess lots of people knew about it, just not me. Anyway, read this book: The Last Lecture, by Randy Pausch. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2006, and in September 2007 he gave a lecture at his University that became this book. No, its not depressing. Yes, its entertaining and talks about really achieving your childhood dreams. I picture it as a Jonathan Livingston Seagull for this decade. (Yes, I know that dates me.) Check it out at your local book purveyor.
You can get more information at thelastlecture.com. There's an excerpt from the book on the site.
