“Well said. The TV show "House" did a take-off episode on Dr. Farmer - showing his less than pleasant personality traits, but like you, the good he accomplishes is amazing. Greg Mortensen - Three Cups of Tea - is a more likable international hero type.”

“I appreciate your note. A colleage recommended "Three Cups of Tea." That's next on the list. You have a great batch of books there. Did you like "Strength in What Remains" as much as "Mountains Beyond Mountains"?
