Haven't heard from anybody about our latest read. I finished " The Last Lecture " some time ago. I think I'll read it again. I was close to death a few times in Vietnam but in most situations my involvement was measured in minutes. I didn't have a lot of time to contemplate. The author on the other hand had months to ponder his waning mortality. He faced it with courage and dignity. Quite a legacy for his family. Good choice Kara. May add more later. Larry
