I just finished reading this extraordinary book by Randy Pausch with Jeffrey Zazlow.
I cannot overestimate the value of this book by an obviously brilliant professor whose “Last Lecture” was not an academic exercise in what you would say if you had one last lecture to give, but was in truth his last lecture, he had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and had an estimated 6 months to live. It is not a sad “be sorry for me” lament, but a joyful celebration of life entitled “Fulfilling your Childhood Dreams”. The book is about preparing and delivering the lecture, but really about living your life well however long you have. Randy admits, no brags about being Tigger, not Eeyore.

This is a book that I bought and took on vacation, but didn't get to until I got home. I still will share with you my list of books I did read while on vacation and some comments about them, if not full reviews.
