Books Read in Peace Corps

I've read a lot of Peace Corps blogs and my FAVORITE part is always their reading lists. People read a lot more when they don't have internet! Wild concept! My average books-per-year since graduating university is 79.4, with 69 being the minimum and 101 the maximum, so let's see how much I can read when I my data at site is so slow it might as well be non-existent. :)
