The Studio

It's amazing how much reading one can do when there's no TV to watch, and when you're on a plane every other weekend, even if the plane ride is just an hour long. I've never been a very quick reader, but since coming to Africa, I feel like I've read a lot.

Thought it would be fun to keep track of which books I've read, especially since I've got a kindle now to encourage more reading...

1. Banker to the Poor - Yunus ****
2. Confessions of a Shopaholic - Kinsella **
3. Girl With a Dragon Tattoo - Larsson *****
4. Girl Who Played with Fire - Larsson *****
5. Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest - Larsson *****
6. Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister - Maguire ***
7. Over a Thousand Hills I Walk with You - Jansen ***
8. Tokyo Vice - Adelstein ****
9. The Hunger Games - Collins *****
10. Catching Fire - Collins *****
11. Mockingjay - Collins ***
12. Have a Little Faith - Albom **
13. The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind - Kamkwambe ***

Added some high level ratings. Keep in mind that these are books that I finished reading, so I at least found all of them good enough to finish. Here's a rough approximation of what the stars mean.

• ***** - Couldn't put the book down. In most cases, finished in a day or two
• **** - Really good, and would recommend to anyone
• *** - Ok, but had slow parts or something was missing
• ** - Fills a specific niche, and is alright for specific occasions
• * - Not sure what compelled me to finish reading this book

Let me know if you want further explanations on any of my ratings! =)
