I haven't picked a new book in awhile, but Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson looks good.

I am willing to substitute a good story for good prose if necessary. For example, Three Cups of Tea. Not a beautifully written book in my opinion, but so starkly inspirational that it passes the test as one of my favorites. But if the plot ain't good, it better be well-written! k4k

blackdogbooks, congratulations for the "hot review' of Three Cups of Tea which is coming up on the Home Page!

#258 BDB Three Cups of Tea was one of my top reads last year. Your review is great! I hope you posted on the main book page so others can see it. I think everyone should read this book! ETA found the review--I gave it a "thumbs up!"

a wonderful review of Three Cups of Tea - I totally concur with your conclusion that Mortenson shames all of us with what he has been able to do and the lives he has changed for the better. I hope the many who put high stock in your recommendations will feel compelled to read this.

Very nice review of Three Cups of Tea. I'd add it to my TBR pile, but it's already there! I'll have to bump it up.

Three Cups of Tea is without a doubt one of the most amazing books I've ever read -- and one of the few that has made me want to give all of my money away without a second thought. I'm in awe of Greg Mortenson and all he's accomplished. Might have to give The Flying Troutmans a try!
