One of the many books perused in Laos from the library at my workplace the Institute of Foreign Affairs. I was just looking for a bit of fiction on paperback (ive been married to audiobooks and kindle for the past months) but it ended up having some decent teaching resources and pretty wide variety of texts, all short and us centric texts, on a wide range of topics.
