This afternoon I finished the book "The White Masai" which I read in Spanish since it was a landed book by the mom of 2 of my students. The story was really good but the translation and the way the languages spoken were described was crap! Anyway, I read the book in 3 days and now I need to find something else because I devoure books these days...

Have you ever read "The Lovely Bones" by Alice Sebold? It's a sad story, so I don't know if it's something you'd be interested in. I know some people consider it kind of morbid. I suggest this book whenever I can. It's my favorite.

No, I haven't read it, I would look for it though. There are many little book shops that sell only books in English, they are used but usually very reasonable.

Heh I also have this problem with books sometimes. I don't want it to end so I read less per day hoping my reading will last longer that way ;)

I went to look for them but didn't find them, if I do I'll let you know. One is called Return from Africa I guess and the 3rd one is called reunion in Barsaloi (or whatever the village's name is)
