This is my 2008 reading list. If Mike is to be understood, there will be a lot of time (nights, mostly) for reading while I’m in Ghana; there won’t be a lot of electronics or computer or anything else for entertainment. I’ve read two books since I’ve been home from school, so I think I’ll get through quite a bit while I’m over there

I’m testing the comments feature out.
I think I’ll make it a few lines,
just so that I can see what it looks like if
someone leaves a longer comment. I’m also going to go all the way to the end of the comment box so that I can see how it wraps the text in comments.

cool blog, Elliott! Quite a reading list. I wish I had the dedication to reading to get through so many great books in a year.

Also, thanks for the thank-you card from the team. Very nice comments…I really appreciate it!

Elliott, you are missing The Poisonwood Bible on your list! Did you buy it?

Cool blog. Can’t wait for the first Ghana post!
