The Last Lecture
After being diagnosed with terminal cancer, a professor shares the lessons he's learned—about living in the present, building a legacy, and taking full advantage of the time you have—in this life-changing classic. "We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand." —Randy Pausch A lot of professors give talks titled "The Last Lecture." Professors are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on what matters most to them. And while they speak, audiences can't help but mull over the same question: What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy? When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn't have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave—"Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams"—wasn't about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because "time is all you have . . . and you may find one day that you have less than you think"). It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living. In this book, Randy Pausch has combined the humor, inspiration and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and given it an indelible form. It is a book that will be shared for generations to come.

The Witch of Agnesi Full-time math teacher and part-time troublemaker Bonnie Pinkwater cares about her students, so when thirteen-year-old math genius Peyton Newlin disappears, she’s compelled to investigate. One by one, students who were competing with the young genius turn up dead. Bonnie suspects Peyton—until he himself is murdered. The investigation leads Bonnie to a coven of witches, a teenage comic book magnate, a skinhead, an abusive father, an amorous science teacher, and a mistranslated medieval mathematics manuscript. As the body count mounts, Bonnie realizes the crosshairs are on her. A Calculated Demise Sadistic wrestling coach Luther Devereaux is found murdered, and Bonnie’s mentally challenged aide, Matt, is found with blood on his hands. Bonnie investigates a growing trail of blood until Superintendent Xavier Divine demands she cease her investigation or lose her job. But when the murderer nabs her dog, there’s no turning back. Irrational Numbers Leo Quinn came out of the closet five years ago. Now he’s found tied to a barbed-wire fence and shot through the heart on a backstretch of Colorado dirt road. Bonnie Pinkwater is drawn into the investigation when her phone number is found in Leo’s pocket. Bonnie and Principal Lloyd Whittaker start turning over rocks, discovering the target range of Leo’s father, a survivalist and former Marine. Next on the list is Leo’s former fiancée. Also in the mix is Harold T. Dobbs, the intolerant, homosexual-baiting pastor of the Saved by the Blood Pentecostal Tabernacle. And don’t forget Moses Witherspoon and Dwight Furby, empty-headed bigots who were out joyriding the day Leo was murdered.
