I intended to read this book before going to hear Greg Mortenson speak at my alma mater but I was glad that I heard him before I read the book.  Hearing this man speak of his vision for the mountain people in Pakistan and Afghanistan gave me a different perspective in reading the book.  I expected a heart-warming tale of humanitarian good deeds, but I wasn't expecting to come away with a new way of looking at the conflict in the middle east.  Indeed at the end of reading Greg Mortenson's tale of building schools my heart was warmed and my intellect was informed.

This post is simply going to serve as a place holder.  I cannot adequately convey what you would gain from reading Three Cups of Tea.  I can't guarantee that you will agree with everything that Mortenson says but I guarantee that reading the book will make you think.  Read it!
