I read The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch and finished it in one night. It's now my favorite book. It's so motivational, but it gets really sad towards the end. If you want a really good book, read this.

I love it. I couldn't stop laughing, except for the occasional chapters Heller threw in there just to make you stop and be like: Wat?

Like when they first introduced Major Major.
