Book of the Month: Three Cups of Tea

The book we will be reading for this month is:

Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace...One School at a Time.
By: Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin.

I was hesitant to choose this book because it is non-fiction. It is the book I had in mind when I started the book club, but had decided against it. I went on to Amazon.com to find another book and this book immediately came up on the screen under a category that had nothing to do with it, so I took it as a sign.
I definitely enjoyed this book mostly because of the way it made me feel when I was finished. If you are afraid of non-fiction books, this one will surprise you because it actually reads like a fiction. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.
So get your library cards ready to go. If you decide to buy this book, I recommend buying it on Amazon because 7% of the proceeds goes toward the schools.

Here's How it Works

Thanks for the comments. Keep 'em coming! We definitely need lots of suggestions.
I decided that I will choose the first book to get us started After that we will all be involved in the pickin'.
I wasn't sure if you all would want to comment or make posts, I think some people are comfortable just commenting and that is fine, but I will send you an invite to post if you'd like. I just need your email address so you can email me at jenmlowryATgmailDOTcom to give me your address then check your mail, including junk mail, for the invite.
We will read one book a month and you are more than welcome to comment about the book throughout the month. You can also leave links or pictures or any other info that might aid in the reading process, (I always like to do a little research while I read) but whatever you do:

DO NOT SPOIL THE ENDING!

If you do, we may kick you out of the club (just kidding). No, but really, don't spoil it for people who may not have finished the book.

We will start our first book tomorrow, Sep. 15, 2007. We will start a new one on Oct.15, 2007. You are welcome to openly comment about the book and it's contents the week before (the week of Oct 8th).
We can work out the quirks as we go. Let me know if these things work or don't work for you or if you have any better ideas!

Away We Go

Lets get this club started! I am excited to start reading new books and hearing all of your thoughts. Let me know what suggestions you have like should we read one book a month or two? What are some of your favorite books to read? Also, remember please do not judge a book by it's cover. I hope you will all give every book we choose a fair chance. Even if you don't like the book choice one month, you may love it the next. Input, input please!
