It was my pleasure to accept your friendship today. We definitely like a lot of the same authors. I've added Cipher to-read. I love the concept for that one and am looking forward to reading it. I have wandered here and at Amazon to click some fan and like buttons for you. I'm glad you enabled me to discover you. I look forward to exchanging ideas with you.

Thank you for request. I'll definitely check your book out after I get through my pile of books. The Last Lecture was definitely one of my faves as well. Randy Pausch has inspired me since and has influenced my life in so many ways. Good to meet you!
