No TV.  No Internet. What’s a girl in West Africa to do?  Read! 

The following is a list of the books I have read/am reading.  And I will continue to add to it during my service.  If you have a book you loved, tell me, chances are we have it in one of the Peace Corps regional house libraries and I can read it.  Then we can write letters back and forth about the book (or skype).  It will be like Oprah’s book club.  Only better.
