#Readingoceania2024 #Marshallislands Although this book falls squarely in the travel genre known as “my one year in______”, unlike most books from Peace Corp volunteers, this author has a lovely sense of humor, is capable of some self insights and knows how to write.

The memoir of a young man who taught English on a tiny and remote island in the Marshall Islands for a year, this is a look at his experiences and the culture, language, and people of the island. Full review at https://booknaround.blogspot.com/2019/02/review-surviving-paradise-by-peter.html

This has been driving around in my car for years. Waiting on a friend at the local kebab place felt like the time to start it.
