I love me a good book list! AfricaIsACountry published their recommended books of 2015 here. I've put the ones that look interesting to me below. Among them Lagoon would be the first African Sci-Fi book that I will have ever read.
I used to fly helicopters for the Navy. Now I work at U.S. embassies to build our mutual security cooperation/defense relationships. I'm also reading a novel from every country in Africa (33 so far). I'm in the process of moving these over to a dedicated website: www.beyondachebe.com. Most of my non-africa book reviews are now over at www.kruzoo.blogspot.com

FAO Quotables
"But being right, even morally right, isn't everything. It is also important to be competent, to be consistent, and to be knowledgeable. It's important for your soldiers and diplomats to speak the language of the people you want to influence. It's important to understand the ethnic and tribal divisions of the place you hope to assist."
