Books Read

I have a lot of spare time here. Also, I like to read. So, here’s a list of books I’ve read in Tanzania. Most recently read books are at the top.

(Note: if there’s something you want me to read, mail it to me–or buy me an Amazon gift certificate so I can download it for my Kindle–and I’ll definitely read it…)
