Tietoja minustaI teach, I travel, I read and I write. I just returned to America after 3 years of teaching in Tokyo. Now I'm teaching high school back in my home town of Tulsa, OK. Last year, I traveled across many obscure countries whose names end with -stan and finally met my goal of visiting more countries than I've lived years on the planet.

Tietoja kirjastostaniI'm forever setting little reading projects for myself. Last year's was non-fiction about China; this year, I challenged myself to read a book from every country in the world. I keep a thread documenting my global reading here in the Reading Globally group.

I review every book I add to my library because it helps me remember them. Anything not reviewed has not yet been read. Here is a guide to my rating system:

5 stars -- superb. I am unable to criticize this work and do not doubt that I will think of it many times in the future.

4.5 stars -- a thoroughly satisfying work that will stick with me for a long time, but some imperfections in writing prevent me from giving it a full five stars.

4 stars -- a solid book. It is well-written and interesting, but not likely to be an influence on me.

3.5 stars -- a good book, but some problems with writing prevented me from enjoying it fully.

3 stars -- a mediocre read that I somewhat enjoyed but would not likely recommend to others.

less than three stars -- I regret reading this work and would not recommend it to others.
