Choosing OR book

For our quarter one outside reading book , I chose Mountains Beyond Mountains written by Tracy Kidder. I chose this novel because it was recommended to me by many people. It also sounded like an intriguing book that will stir up my emotions on how I view politics and life. Dr. Paul Farmer is the main character and he has the oppurtunity to save innocent lives in many countries. Hearing his story will hopefully inspire me to become someone who will help the world as well. After the reading the first chapter, it left me wanted to read more about this doctors extroadinary lifestyle.
