On the flip side, I'm in the middle of reading An Imperfect Offering - Humanitarian Action for the 21st Century (James Orbinski) - it is a pretty tough read. It makes me question the human condition and recognize how fortunate I am for what I have - my prayers have changed as a direct result of this book and I express my gratitude in each of my prayers.

Prisoner of Tehran (Marina Nemat) was a decent read - but no where near as compelling as Three Cups of Tea.

On a lighter note, I've recently read Harlan Coben's, Just One Look, The Woods and Hold Tight - I enjoyed all three.
