I polished off another book. James, read this one.
It is about 3 youngish Americans hiking in Iraq who are beckoned over the border into Iran and are essentially kidnapped and held in prison for years. The book is written by the three hikers and details their experiences in the prison and then also Sarah's efforts, once she was released, to spring her comrades.
The parts I found interesting and inspiring were the projects the hikers gave themselves in prison to make productive use of their time. They read very dense books, created a timeline from the beginning of time to the present, memorized multiplication tables, learned Farsi, and other interesting stuff.
