The Last Lecture

One of my resolutions for the new year, a.k.a. "Refine 2009", is to read a new book each month.  I'd actually like to read more than that but baby steps first, right?  So far, I've only decided on January's pick; The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch.  I think it's a very fitting choice to help kick-start my mission... 

"An entire book of living-life-to-the-fullest advice from a college professor sounds about as inviting as a 20-page term paper.  But Pausch, a Carnegie Mellon computer science prof diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in '06, is so earnest and funny that you'd let him teach you anything.  Among his tips: Respect your childhood dreams, remember to laugh and appreciate the gifts you receive.  The author -who died in July- is one of them." -People Magazine

I'll be sure to post my thoughts on the book once I start it in a few days!
