There is unintentional irony with the title thread, but i feel the author would have liked it. Some people may have seen on TV or through an earlier thread talking about " The Last Lecture ". Which google can fill you in about.
I just finished reading the book, and i must say i was blown away. I would really recommend everyone who likes to read to read it. It is probably not the best book i have ever read, but its messages are the strongest, and i have never been so affected / moved by a book.
