It is raining today, and with all rainy days here in Chuuk, the few ways to pass the time become even fewer. The Peace Corps library here has some great books, but our office was recently renovated, and in the process we lost a lot of good material. Hence, I've assembled a list of books that I would love to read (I'm on some huge Robert Ludlum kick) for academic and recreational reasons. Here is the URL:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/registry.html?
ie=UTF8&type=wishlist&id=3EFGPKUS6WC07
(copy and paste this into your address bar - the whole thing - both lines)
If this doesn't work, you can go to Amazon.com, click on Wish Lists, and type in Alex Plum and it will come up. *Note: From the list, if you click on "Add to Cart" it will assume you want to buy a more expensive version of the book. To find a cheaper version or used book, click on the link under the button which says, "27 New & Used From" (or some other number) and then a price. Some of the Ludlum books are only a penny. Shipping will be the same rate as within the United States.
My address over here is saved to the Wish List, too, so you can send it to me via Amazon directly. If you can't find the address there, here it is again:
Alex Plum, Peace Corps
PO Box 39
Weno Chuuk, FM 96942
(For city, put in "Weno Chuuk" and for state put in "FM")
Thanks in advance for any great reads (on the list or otherwise) that you forward on!!!!! If you happen to send one out, would you respond to this post so it doesn't get re-sent? Thanks!
Peace,
Alex

I just fell asleep reading that list of book titles. I got about as far as The Cost of Rights : Why liber...... (whoops! sorry I just fell asleep again typing that title) then all of a sudden it was several hours later and I was face down on my keyboard.
P.S. today's word verification is meddefu. Med-uh-foo. you're welcome.
Alex, You should be getting "No Country for Old Men" and "The Matarese Circle". They're supposed to ship Oct. 28 or 29. I'm sending those 2 because they're the ones Amazon didn't have a problem shipping to your country. Hope you enjoy them and Happy Halloween! love, Terry
Man, I'm going to join Peace Corps so that Terry Gladstone can love me as much as she loves you. Jealous.
Terry, I'm kidding and I love you!
O.K. Alex I guess I'd better sign my comments Terry T instead of just Terry so you'll know it's Thorpe who sent the books. Sorry about the confusion. love you, Terry T
Alex,
I ordered you the Scarlatti Inheritance from your wish list. I liked the name. It won't ship until the 30th.
Hope you enjoy. Happy Halloween!
Love,
Sara
Alex, sending you Nudge. Cass Sunstein did a lecture at U of M in the fall and I went and I saw him. He's not particularly engaging as a person, but his work is all great.
