I'm reading The Last Lecture by Randy Paush. I know most of you do Good Reads, but I don't. I couldn't figure it out the first time I tried and gave up. Anyways, this book is a fast, easy read that is fantastic! It should have been handed out with a box of kleenex attached. The author isn't dramatic, just factual. I think that's one reason I'm so captivated. Reading about a man's life that will so end helps me think over the daily blessings of my own life. Anyone else read it? Or, anyone reading anything good I could read next? I'm up for any genre!

This is such a great book, although I think I went through a whole box of Kleenex's by the time I finished reading it! It really made me count my many blessings...it's definitely a great read.
i LOVE this book... i totally cried also... it definitely made me stop and appreciate every day!
I LOOOOVE this book. So inspirational and uplifting, although sad at the same time.
I think I read it all in 2 short sittings! I LOVED it!!!! Whoever suggested this book to you really has great taste!!- j/k
I too loved this book. I work with cancer patients, so this book hit me close to home. I love the "elephant in the room" and I love that he read his own CT scan and was counting liver lesions and I bawled my eyes out when his wife gets on stage and says "please, don't die." Seriously, it's a great book. When I dream of getting a new car, I wonder if I could dump a can of coke on the seat, and then I think about his nephew throwing up. It is really a great book.
I am currently reading Jane Austen's Emma. Not so much a "quick" read, but great none the less. I feel like a get a lot of depth out of just a couple pages.
I'm picking mine up from the library tomorrow. I'm so interested to read this tear jerker.
Oh great, I didn't know it was a tear jerker! I have it, but haven't started it yet. Being prego that will multiple my tear factor by 100!
I have heard great things about this book too! Is it one I will want to buy or just check out?
I liked this one... Makes you really stop and think about the important things in life.
It's the Davis Reads secondary book of the year. (What's that you ask?) And guess who passed up free dinner and lecture tickets to hear Jeffrey Zaslow tomorrow night in order to attend a stake Enrichment meeting! Where are my priorities?
I forgot TIm got that book for Christmas! I going to start reading it today! Thanks for the tip, and thanks for coming to play group.
I can't wait to read this. Billy is reading it right now and says it is great.
I forgot about you teaching you can give me some pointers, I have to start doing actual lessons this semester and I'm scared to death! I always thought I wanted to teach third, and was in a third grade class last semester, but I love these first graders! Who knows where I'll end up by the time I"m done.
