Subject: RE: Must read booksMelH - 2009-11-03 11:51 PM my favorite 'non classics' that I've recently read:
3 Cups of Tea (I strongly believe that if every American read this, it would re-shape the nature of the Afghan war...) Shantaram No way, that's so awesome, those are EXACTLY the same two books that went through my mind! I might have written just Shantaram because it's not a common book whereas 3 Cups is very popular right now and a huge bestseller. Shantaram is a thick book, which is great because you don't want it to end, and it's nevertheless an easy read, not a plowing-through. While a novel, it is based on the life of the author, who after breaking out of prison and becoming an international fugitive, opened a free clinic in the slums of Bombay.
