Tietoja minusta I 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 kirjastostani I'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 thoroughly mediocre book, a bit of a waste of time.

less than three stars -- not recommended.
