Charlottesville was hopping last night.  Not only were the frat boys partying on their front lawns and enjoying a fine spring evening at UVA, but a week long literary event was being held.

If you have not read this inspiring book, please do ASAP. My good friend R and I went to hear him speak about his school building projects in Pakistan.  If you have ever felt moved to join the Peace Corps or volunteer for Habitat for Humanity, hearing this humble man speak will give you much pause for thought.
