Welcome Aaron!

Welcome Aaron -- you have a great start! (though I must ask -- is there really such a thing as a gratuitous amount of reading?)

The Geography of Bliss: One Grump's Search for the Happiest Place in the World by Eric Weiner
Another great non-fiction read. Author is an NPR correspondent and self-described grump. Very interesting, the discussion of what makes happiness. Each chapter describes his visit to a different country (India, Bhutan, Qatar, England, etc) Iceland is one of the happiest places on Earth -- who knew? 329 pages

The Outlandish Companion by Diana Gabaldon
This is the companion book for the Outlander series (It feels a little redundant to say that.) Some parts were more interesting to me than others -- like any good companion book, probably. I didn't read the last part, which was excerpts of books I haven't read yet. Given the chance to do over, I probably wouldn't read this one. 402 pages read.
