So good, but so heart wrenching. Like all the Bronte's novels. I won't tell much because I don't want to give it away! Highly recommended.

A failed attempt to climb Pakistan’s K2 in the Karakoram mountains led humanitarian Greg Mortenson into the village of Korphe, which was the catalyst for a life-changing experience in which he began his mission to build schools for girls. When he arrived in Korphe, emaciated and exhausted, he was treated with hospitality and kindness. He was appalled to see eighty-two children studying in the open frosty air since the village had no school and the Pakistani government did not provide a teacher at a cost of $1 per day. They were sharing the cost with a neighbouring village and the teacher came to the village three days a week. Mortenson promises the villagers that he will return and build a school for the children. Mortenson goes back to the States eager to make good on his promise. He struggles to find the funding and begins his mission. It is remarkable how one chance encounter in a remote mountain village could lead to a life-changing mission. Mortenson’s passion to educate poor children in central Asia is commendable, but more than praising Mortenson, ’Three Cups of Tea’ conveys how remarkable the people he helped are. Having just passed the tenth anniversary of 9/11, reading this account of everyday people in central Asia is encouraging. Far from depicting Muslims as jihadist extremists, this book shows them in all their humanity. The majority value education not only for their boys but also for their girls. They see the benefits educated girls can bring to their communities. As Mortenson says, “the girls stay home, become leaders in the community and pass on what they’ve learned. If you really want to change a culture, to empower women, improve basic hygiene and health care, and fight high rates of infant mortality, the answer is to educate girls.” I was also impressed by Mortenson’s willingness to do whatever it took to benefit the villagers. More than simply building schools and then moving on, Mortenson follows up in every community. But before building begins, Mortenson and his team ensure that the infrastructure is in place to support such a project. There is no use building a school if there are no students to teach or teachers to teach them. Mortenson is practical in his approach. I would highly recommend this book. Mortenson and Relin paint a captivating portrait of a part of the world I have tended to think of as extremely foreign and mysterious. I found it educational since I must admit I was ignorant of Pakistani culture and Islam in general.

Good book on how the rise of militarization has contributed to continuing destabilization in sub-Saharan Africa. Clearly demonstrates the need for a robust AFRICOM presence, as well as military aid to nations such as Mali, as a way to create order from chaos.

It's clear that Spider-Man: Reign echoes a post-9/11 world, if not a blatant observation of the Bush Administration following the terrorist attacks and the war against terrorism. Much like the promises of a madman from Texas to make our country safe, Mayor Waters promises New York protection from super-terrorists. The only cost for this freedom is the citizens' freedom and civil rights - the guy even goes as far as canceling the electoral process until his job is done (which, I wouldn't have put it passed Bush to do the very same thing). So while making a Utopia, Waters manages to create the ultimate Dystopia. And who can save the city from itself? Why none other than the friendly neighborhood florist. Peter Parker finds himself as an elderly man working at a flower shop. His glory days are over. He is a widow. Retired from fighting crime. Slowly awaiting death. On the night he is fired, he witnesses a teenager beaten by the Reign - a military police force that now holds the law in New York. Helpless to come to the aid of the teenager, Parker turns his back on the scene and goes home, where an old friend comes to see him. Even the aging J. Jonah Jameson can put aside old grudges against his former employee and scandal maker. Jonah urges the retired hero to take the mask again and save the city from those in charge because he fears that something much darker lurks in Waters' shadow. Something only a spider can overcome. Kaare Andrews brings us the Marvel equivalent to The Dark Knight Returns, showing us that no matter how old we get, a hero still lives within us all. It's probably the best graphic novel I've read this summer - outmatching The Age of Apocalypse arc. The art is haunting and the storytelling echoes with genius - the character voices just pop into the reader's head (I wasn't even trying to give them voices, it just happened). Let's not forget that this by far the most political graphic novel I've read since Watchmen. It's a must for Spider-Man fans everywhere and a great read for those literary nuts out there (myself included).

I thought I had read this many many years ago but now I'm not so sure; so much of it is concerned with drinking and other, drier subjects that I can't imagine it would have held my interest as a child. At any rate, I didn't remember any of it. On the whole I thought it was fun, light reading bolstered by a lot of interesting cultural and historical tidbits about Eastern Canada - with one caveat. Farley Mowat, though a national treasure to many, has a somewhat controversial reputation as an author of non-fiction, having been accused of everything from embellishing to outright lying about his experiences. A certain amount of embellishment is expected in a humorous travelogue, but I have to admit his semi-tarnished reputation did pop into my head during a few of the more outlandish episodes - especially his time in St. Pierre, where the people and animals are apparently cartoons.
