South Asian Challenge 2012 — Because

Ok.
Because I don’t have anything better to do (Ha ha ha,) I’m signing up for this challenge.
And.
I will read … 8 books this year either about South Asia, or written by a South Asian person.
In addition to all my other reading pursuits.
Because …

Because I love reading.
Because I need the distraction.
Because I want to stay connected.
Because I like the topics.
Because I like the author’s names.
Because I like henna.
Because I like culture.

Because when I read a book about India, I hear it.
