Three Cups of Tea : One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time by Greg Mortenson

Mortenson, lost and weak after a failed attempt to climb K2, stumbles into a village in northern Pakistan where the girls sit outside and, without a teacher, scratch multiplication tables in the dirt with a stick. He begins a one-man effort to build girls' schools in Pakistan. He's crazy and adventurous and big-hearted and doesn't seem to mind getting shot at. This is a magnificent book--highly recommended for individuals and book groups.

I've been planning to read this one..keep visiting it but not actually buying it...

THANK YOU for your reviews. Especially the ones you didn't like. I waste so much time on terrible books.

I also enjoyed the Barbara Bush Memoir, and loved A Midwife's Tale. One of my favorite books EVER.

I will read Well Behaved Women and People of the Book on your recommendation.

I will be back. Thank you!
