Reading Challenge Week 1

d’Artagnan over at Living in Iowa decided to have reading competition for 2012.
 
I'm competing in it and have a feeling that I have some stiff competition.

During the first week of 2012 I read 399 pages.

What did I read?

I read an amusing book,Tune in Tokyo the Gaijin Dairies by Tim Anderson, which is about the author's experiences as 20-something gay, white male, American living in Japan teaching English lessons at a language school. This book was interesting and entertaining. 292 pages.

I also read the January issue of Matchbook Magazine. This magazine is my new answer for the shuttered Blueprint magazine, which I love and miss. I own every issue of Blueprint ever printed. This is a lovely magazine with lots of fun information and pretty items I can't afford. 107 pages.
