Books

Our nephew Max called just to say hello today. Way to go, Max!

Books have become our source of entertainment since we don't have electricity and the perks that go with it, i.e. TV (the story of Bene's new 60' one is already legendary in Malawi), DVD's, Guitar Hero or what's replaced it as the new hot item by now. So here's what we've read so far:

Brian: Night (Elie Weisel) The World Is Flat (Thomas Friedman) Gods and Generals (Jeff Shaara) The Vikings ((of Medieval times, that is)can't remember author's name)Newsweek Magazines provided by USAID. Currently I'm reading Undaunted Courage: Meriwether Lewis, Thomas Jefferson, and the Opening of the American West (Stephen Ambrose)

Kristy: Night and Dawn (Elie Weisel) Reading Lolita in Tehran (Azar Nafisi), Dear Exile : The True Story of Two Friends Separated (for a Year) by an Ocean (Hilary Liftin and Kate Montgomery). Currently Kristy is reading The Tapestries: A Novel (Kien Nguyen).
