The Last Lecture....

I read a book that my mom read. It was called the Last Lecture. Many of you may have heard of the man who gave the 'last lecture' or you may have read it already. I just wanted to put it out there that it was an excellent book. The ideas in the book that he gives of ways to be better or things to do in your life were very inspiring for me. There is a handful of the things that he talked about that he did that I have already applied in my own life. He was very inspirational. I will warn, if you haven't heard of it and you don't know about this man. He has cancer and knows he is going to die and is giving this last lecture. So its possible that you may cry and that's okay. I bawled my eyes out the last chapter. It's because if you also don't know, he has died as of today, which makes reading the book that much more intense. I felt the whole book was very inspirational and the last chapter was just a clincher of emotion and I bawled the whole way through it. I do recommend it since I was able to get so many things from the book. Let me know your thoughts if you have read it, or think about reading it, or are not going to read it and why?

I haven't read it yet but I am seriously considering it. I need to be in the mood for a book like that. I'll let you know what I thought once I've read it.

It sounds good but I hate crying lately so I try to avoid it. Like Carissa I have to be in the mood for it so I will let you know when I get to that point. I am glad that you like it though.
