One of the best book discussions we had in the past several years (and we've had MANY) was the evening we talked about Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson. Mortenson's story of how he came to build schools for girls in Afghanistan was inspiring and Cathy's slide show and her connections to the author really added to our understanding.
Recently, you may have read that he's under suspicion of mismanaging the money his Central Asia Institute raised for more schools. 60 Minutes did a big expose about this and very little has been heard from Mortenson himself.
This is a great (long) update which I found fascinating and thought you might also enjoy. http://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adventure/celebrities/greg-mortenson/The-Trials-of-Greg-Mortenson.html
