Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Relin

While Greg Mortenson is a bit full of himself, I admired his dogged pursuit to build schools in remote areas for girls in Pakistan and Afghanistan. I liked his non judgmental approach. He is always living on the brink, needing money or escaping death narrowly. His ability to learn languages easily and relate to all different kinds of people is cool. Part of me is envious for his passion and ability to make some real changes. On the other hand, I had trouble with how he placed his family at a lower priority than his work in Pakistan. This book is not very well written, but it tells an inspiring story.
