Carole Rydberg, Plymouth: I believe that my husband, Roger, and I might be among the last two people in the area to read "Three Cups of Tea," but I cannot say enough to recommend it. It is the true story of fellow Minnesotan Greg Mortenson and the amazing work he has done building schools -- and opportunity -- for students in Afghanistan and Pakistan. It is an inspiration to anyone who wonders what one person can do to make this a better world. What's on your nightstand? E-mail us at lhertzel@startribune.com.
