Inspiring and life changing. Rarely can you say that a book is these things, but this book (and the associated lecture I already blogged about) could be considered both. Randy Pausch is a computer science professor at CMU who is terminally ill. This book accompanies the Last Lecture that has been an Internet phenomenon. I won't go into much detail here, instead telling you to watch the lecture that I have linked in a previous blog post, and if you find that inspirational, buy this book. 5 out of 5 donkeys!
