Matt’s comments from the I Read Small-Small group.

Yea, "Germs, Guns and Steel" put a face to some of the things that I see in village every day. That's kind of a strange thing to say, given that "Germs" is regarded as a history book.

I read and really enjoyed "Great Expectations" while living here, and really got a lot out of it.

I'm finishing "A Brief History of Time" by Dr. Hawking. Will leave it in the Bamako Office this week (hopefully). A good read for any PCV looking for a good science (physics) read. I'm not particularly religeous; however, I feel that Dr Hawking does marvelous work in trying to understand (or atleast not discount) the role of a creator within in the order of a scientific universe. He really does a wonderful job writing about relativity and quantum theory in a laymans manner. Any above average person (like a PCV!) will have no troubles with his approach.

Cheers All!
