A site devoted to thoughts about books, reading, and libraries relevant to Africa mostly by Michael Kevane, co-Director of Friends of African Village Libraries, a small 501(c)(3) non-profit devoted to helping village and small community libraries in Africa. I am also an economist at Santa Clara University. Other frequent contributors are Kate Parry, FAVL-East Africa director, and Anne-Reed Angino, FAVL networker extraordinaire!

still, i like the movie version as well.
Woe is me for assuming a movie wasn't a book first. Of course! Makes me wonder how sales of Upton Sinclair's Oil! are doing... oh my:
Amazon.com Sales Rank: #730 in Books
And Princess Bride?
Amazon.com Sales Rank: #7,633 in Books
