new book

bought another book that has to do with death again. i seem to like this morbid subject. but it is not really about death in this book.

this time it is the last lecture by randy pausch together with jeffrey zaslow, an alumnus of the professor.

prof randy is diagnosed with cancer and he is dying. in august 2007, doctor told him that he only had 3 months to live. hence, he decided to give a last lecture to his students at carnegie mellon university. the talk was recorded and put online. it inspired many and then they decided to put this lecture into a book form.

i first read a review of this book in the star. i am intrigued by what a dying professor has got to say to his students. you will definitely get wise words and advice from this book...and i am keeping my fingers crossed that it is not going to be patronising.

will start reading this book as soon as i finish his dark materials...not long now.

those who are interested to hear the lecture or see the slides, you can go randy's website to download it. ....i should have done that huh instead of paying more than 30 for it. but nothing beats holding a book in hand. and i dun think i will have the patience to listen to such a long lecture. those who have watched it can drop a comment and tell me about it.

*prof randy is still alive till this days.
