Three Cups of Tea
by Greg Mortenson
A lot of what is written resonates with my experience there – one that people who haven’t lived in Pakistan often find it hard to understand. When I tell them I lived there with my children, who are now two and four, they say; “How could you do that?” as though everybody there is a Kalashnikov-wielding fanatic. The people are welcoming and friendly, and I laughed out loud when I read Mortenson’s line that if he was killed in Pakistan, he knew it would be in a car accident and not by a terrorist.
