Inspirational reading

I recently finished reading “Mountains Beyond Mountains” by Tracy Kidder. The author is much admired among journalists for the way he immerses himself in a subject, then writes the hell out of it. This time, he profiles Dr. Paul Farmer, who, while still a medical student, established a clinic for the poor in Haiti, then expanded his work to help the poor all over the world.

It's an awesome book that I can't stop thinking about.

Listen to an interview with Farmer on public radio’s “Fresh Air.” Or listen to Kidder talk about his book on "All Things Considered."
