Read in November, 2011

I found this book so sad. I read the Three cups of tea story and had heard from alot of friends and family who had read it. This book was saying that the book was fiction and hardly any of it was true. This was sad to me that so many people read and loved the book, and to find out that we had all put our hopes in a falsehood made me sad. I can't remember if this was the guy that was on Oprah telling that the book was false and that she had Greg Mortenson on or not, but I remember hearing that his book was untrue and wondering if it was true. I found this book at the library and knew that I would read it. I did not send money to Greg Mortenson, but it was sad that he had great ideas, but did not follow through. I think that with new people in the business that they could make good on the ideas. It does make me wonder how the other people involved in Pakistan and elsewhere feel about us. I think this fiction adds to their ideas that we are silly Americans. I don't think what Greg Mortenson did will help relations in other countries I think it will make people distrust Americans and be suspicious of anyone offering any help. Shame on Greg Mortenson.
