read Three Cups of Tea

but I didn’t have the cash on hand. Luckily, I just ran across a copy at the Goodwill for a quarter! Yes! Good thing, too, since I was almost driven to buy the kid version at the grocery store the other day.

It’s not autographed so at least I know I didn’t get a hold of atinygoat’s copy, lol!

So my good friend, Dazzle, and I hung out last night.

Sitting in her living room, I noticed a copy of Three Cups of Tea and promptly asked if I could borrow it so I can finish it.

I will resume reading it as soon as I finish my current book.

until some jackass stole it from me!

Seriously, who steals a paperback book from someone? Did they need the $10 that badly? Or the book itself?

And this book of all books!

I was almost finished with it..

It had my favorite bookmark, the one souvenir I had purchased for myself from my trip to Rome, in it. And inside the liner of the bookmark was the business card for my favorite restaurant in Rome..

And! Not even a month ago, I had the privilege to meet Greg Mortenson and had him sign my book.

I am SO not happy that some d’bag felt the need to relieve me of my book!

to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time

Three Cups of Tea is the true story of one of the most extraordinary humanitarian missions of our time. In 1993, a young American mountain climber named Greg Mortenson stumbles into a tiny village high in Pakistan’s beautiful and desperately poor Karakoram Himalaya region. Sick, exhausted, and depressed after a failing to scale the summit of K2, Mortenson regains his strength and his will to live thanks to the generosity of the people of the village of Korphe. Before he leaves, Mortenson makes a vow that will profoundly change both the villagers’ lives and his own—he will return and build them a school.
