I attended a seminar this summer given by a doctor working a rural area in India. She discussed the difficulties that occur when culture, science, and a lack of education clash. Being and avid reader, I distictly remembered her saying, "it's very Cutting for Stone". I made a mental note of it and bought the book before returning home. Since then it has been sitting on my bookshelf. The saga of a surgeon in Ethiopia, it not only seemed to challenge society (not ours but that of an very different nation I would like to learn about) but also appeals to the career path I am interested in.
