Books, Books, Books

I knew that I would have a lot of free time on my hands, but even so, I had only brought one book with me. I had heard that books were abundant and I would easily pick up a few here and there from other volunteers...not to mention my mom sending me boxes and boxes! Ok, not really that extreme, but about 3-5 books in all of my care packages. Since arriving in country, I have read 34 books. Take out the first two months of training, and in the past year, that's quite the average, huh??? I want to dedicate this entry to my amazing list of books...well, I think it's pretty amazing! I've read everything from classics to romance to books that try to answer the meaning of life. So here is...

The books with *** are must reads, at least I think so. They were by far my favorites and left an impression with me. Forget about the books with :(. I felt they were worthless, but at the same time, I did finish them so that counts for something.
