Reader recommendation: Stones into Schools

Monitor readers share their favorite book picks.

Stones into Schools by Greg Mortenson is the best read we have enjoyed in a long time – it's a page turner and hard to lay down. We found it to be entertaining, educational, inspiring, and containing lots of life lessons for us. The book was an awesome follow-up to Mortneson's "Three Cups of Tea" and it was good to learn that the schools he wrote about creating in that book are still up and running. These schools now number more than 130!
