#8 Three Cups of Tea
Everything about Greg Mortenson has always been strange. You can understand that much from reading it. While he's homeless and penniless he strives to build a school for those who have even less than him. But even I was shocked when he got married after just four days. His first girlfriend in this book that he had dumped him when he got back to the states and took him a very long time to get over. But when he did he realised that she was not the one for him. Later, he met Tara Bishop while listening to Sir Edmund Hillary give a speech. He later confessed that at the time he was more excited about meeting Tara. They were married four days later. As a child who has gone through no less than three divorces, this is almost even more crazy than a homeless man building a shcool in a third-world country. Did they know anything about each other? How were they going to live? But at the same time, the hopless romantic part of me believed it was incredably sweet. They took each other while they had nothing to their name, and expected nothing else but the others heart. That is a true love that doesnt need anything more than four days.
