Don't let the paperback fool you. Only 300 pages? nah..tiny tiny writing. Try like 521 pages normally. One of my booknerd friends has the same new years resolution as me (he stole it) and suggested this book. I found a nice copy of it for 5 bucks at the used bookstore. Thank goodness one moved in near me. I love cheap books. Non-fiction book about a doctor named Paul Farmer. He loves Haiti and basically he's trying to wipe out tuberculosis entirely. He works long hours for money that he mostly gives to the hospital or his patients. He is a completely terribly busy man. Reading about him made me feel like a waste of a human. If everyone could accomplish as much as he did, then this world would be at peace and there would be healthy happy people always. I really couldn't work his hours, but he did what he loved and he loved taking care of people. 3 stars (this is really just because I don't like non-fiction in general.) Nothing against Tracy Kidder at all. His writing style is very smart and informative. Just not my taste.
