Books Read

Like most PCVs around the world, reading is the top way I pass my free time.  My goal is to read 100 books during my PC service.  If you do the math  (100 books/27 months) that comes out to roughly 3.7 books a month.  My goal is to read as many books as I can!

Here is a list of all of the books I've finished so far.  If you have any suggestions, let me know!
