I first heard of this book when our principal showed us clips of The Last Lecture at a faculty meeting. I then saw clips on Oprah and on the internet. I wrote down the title immediately, but didn't get around to reading the book for over a year, by which time Pausch had passed away, making the book all the more poignant. The book deserves every bit of the media attention it has gotten. I read it in a day. It's full of wisdom without being "preachy". By the end of the book you're not only inspired by Pausch, you feel like he's a friend.
