Leaving Microsoft to Change the World tells the interesting and inspiring story behind John Wood's mission to bring books, libraries, schools, computers, and educational scholarships to the children of Nepal, Cambodia, India, Laos, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, and South Africa.
It's a wonderful story, and Room to Read, the nonprofit organization he founded to promote literacy and education in the developing world, appears to be having a real impact.
