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!
