In the case of Where We Once Belonged, the answer to both of these questions is a resounding yes. But one way to check myself is to ask: would I read this book if I hadn’t assigned it to myself? Would I enjoy it? I find myself handing out a lot of three star ratings to books that, outside the scope of this project, I probably wouldn’t even have bothered to finish. One effect of this has been that I am finding it difficult to judge and rate my books on the same scale that I would rate the things I usually read.

I am currently finishing up Melanesian literature, having rounded the corner in Papua New Guinea, and the end of the South Pacific is in sight.
