read for joy

Since the weather's been cruddy here in Portland (shouldn't surprise anyone) and I hate holiday crowds and traffic, I'm devoting most of my hiatus from school by reading. Aside from the mission to read academic stuff over break, I've also been reading (strictly for fun):

Women of Okinawa: Nine Voices from a Garrison Island (Keyso, R)
Mahi's Story (Kordi, G)
The Bean Trees (Kingsolver)
Joy Luck Club (Tan) re-reading this one
Letters to a Young Teacher (Kozol)
Breaking Away (Howard, J)
Jump Off Creek (Gloss, M)

It's really satisfying to have all this time to myself.
