I had a great rematch for the book exchange. I received a total of five books, one of which took a long, strange trip to get to me. The books are:

The Education of a British-Protected Child, by Chinua Achebe, a series of essays by a man who grew up in Nigeria; Maps in a Mirror, a collection of short fiction by Orson Scott Card; Soccer in a Football World, by David Wangerin, a book about soccer in America; The Gourmet's Guide to Cooking with Liquors and Spirits, by Dwayne Ridgaway (self-explanatory) The Arms of Krupp, by William Manchester, about the Krupp family of Germany.

All in all, a great selection. My wonderful rematcher was awesome enough to stay on top of a book that got lost in the shuffle.
