In reply to norm kwallek.

I mentioned it in passing a few posts ago, but we ARE compiling a lot of this stuff to put together a book. Much of it will come from this blog, but we are also going to include stories we hear from Pedro and Nas Palas and other people, things that the Peace Corps doesn't allow us to post because they could be construed as political commentary. Keep your eyes peeled, we will send out an email when the book is available (probably in 2011). You're right, the miracle of on-demand publishing makes these things possible; I used it before, and have a reasonably well-selling book on teaching archery to kids available on Amazon.com.

As a side note, I just started reading "World War Z", and as the author acknowledges n his dedication, it borrows heavily from Studs Terkel in tone and format.
