Hi Andrew, I'm a friend of Scott Hanson's from Peace Corps/Philippines. You're QUITE an impressive guy. Take A Passage to India and Candide off your shelf and read 'em!! As for all of the Grisham and Clancy books, throw them in the ocean and make an artificial reef. If you're ever in Chicago, look me up!! Take care. All the best, Ann
