Book review, "The Last Lecture."

i am enjoying my time reading at my favorite starbucks spot on my well needed day-off, a ritual that i have come to love within the past 3 months. not but three weeks ago, my lead pastor handed me his copy of a book by the name of "the Last Lecture" by Randy Pausch. his words were crystal clear: "try not to write in it." easy enough right? wrong! this is a great book about a man who has captured a nation and quite possibly the world, as he chronicles his life with the realization that it will soon be taken from him by the Pancreatic cancer he has contracted. this authentic, funny, and inspiring autobiography is written with tact and will touch even the most calloused of hearts. i have thoroughly enjoyed Pausch's wit and insight, guiding his reader through the different chapters of his world and challenging us to never take for granted the time and lives we have been given.

This is an easy, short, and yet profound read that will have you struggling to put it down and refrain from crying at the same time. pick it up and be inspired to live life with no stop signs.
