A Big Box of Books

My mom brought me a box of books she was finished with, and it is still sitting in my living room, but it is lighter one book.

I picked up Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin.

It's great. The main character, Greg Mortenson reminds me in a passing way of my brother-in-law, they are both gregarious mountain climbers.

Mortenson was raised in Africa, is very devoted to his family and after a failed attempt to summit K2; dedicated himself to building schools in Pakistan. I haven't finished it yet, but I am fairly sure it is going to end well, and be a good read.

I love books about the Afghanistan/Pakistan region and may formulate a list soon of books involving that part of the earth. Stay tuned.
