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

Comment by elliott May 19, 2008 @ 8:01 amI 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!
