I kept a list of all the books I read during my time in Ethiopia. In some ways, I think this list reveals more about me and my time here than any narrative I could write. If you’d like to see more of the books I’ve read and those I’m currently reading, you can add me as a friend on Goodreads. Here is a link to my account.
