PC Reading List
So I have finished training and am just hanging out in Provence. It is wonderful. It is really the first vacation with no responsibility that I have had in over a year. Your votes have been tallied and I will keep the blog. I will change the name after I finish publishing the blogs that I first penned while in Ukraine. I will title them from now on as Reminisces. I think there will be about 5 of them.For today I have compiled a reading list:
Books that will help you understand the Peace Corps Experience:
Ugly American
Piano shop on the West Bank
Art of War
www.PeaceCorpsWriters.org
Books that will help you understand MY Peace Corps experience:
Catch 22 (for its personality, dilemma, and irony)
Poland (because I lived in the territory of this books setting)
Dune (for the integration that I sought)
The Death and Life of the Great American City (for who I tried to be)
I keep going back and forth on Tao Te Ching. If you are in the right mindset, it can offer a lot about the Peace Corps experience, but if you are in that frame of mind, it will probably offer you a lot on life.
