Randy Pausch was a professor at Carnegie Mellon who was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer in September 2006. He had delivered one of the most inspirational speeches titled "The last lecture". I'm sure most of you have heard of him and the things he has done. I have read the book he published with the help of Jeffery Zaslow twice and watched the actual lecture he made more than a few times.

His view on life is just more than amazing. How he recognizes the people in his life that have helped him to the place were he was.
This post was just to see if anyone else have read the book, or even heard of him.
