A TRIPLE HEADER!!!

THREE OF MY FAVORITE RECENTLY READ BOOKS!!!

DEWEY, THE SMALL TOWN LIBRARY CAT WHO TOUCHED THE WORLD - BY VICKY MYRON WITH BRETT WITTER. AN ENDEARING, FEEL GOOD BOOK ABOUT A CAT IN THE SPENCER LIBRARY IN IOWA. I LOVED THIS BOOK NOT BECAUSE I AM A CRAZY CAT MAN BUT BECAUSE IT IS A DARN GOOD BOOK!

A LONG WAY GONE - ISHMAEL BEAH. A GRIPPING, CHILLING, HEART WRENCHING ACCOUNT OF A YOUNG CHILD SOLDIER IN AFRICA. THIS BOOK SHOWS HOW INCREDIBLE MAN'S CAPACITY FOR CRUELTY IS AND HOW THERE IS SOME COMPASSION & HOPE IN THE WORLD.

THREE CUPS OF TEA - BY GREG MORTENSON & DAVID RELIN. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY RIVETING BOOK ABOUT A MOUNTAIN CLIMBER WHO HAS A LIFE CHANGING MOMENT, MAKES A PROMISE TO BUILD A SCHOOL IN ONE OF THE MOST REMOTE & POOREST PARTS OF THE WORLD. HE KEEPS HIS PROMISE AND ENDS UP BUILDING MANY SCHOOLS IN PAKISTAN & AFGHANISTAN. THIS GUY IS A TRUE AMERICAN HERO BUT NOT IN THE WAY YOU WOULD THINK. I COULD NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN. A GREAT & COMPELLING READ.
