Read in April, 2011

If you're not great at geography, tend to fall asleep before you even consider reading someone else's travel narration, but enjoy learning about other cultures (especially the funny and memorable side of them), sprinkled with self-mockery and sometimes hilarious passages, Troost is your man.
I loved The Sex Lives of Cannibals and, although this second book didn't make me laugh out loud as often, it is highly entertaining and informative. Troost is anything but an objective narrator, and that only makes it more fun to follow him in another set of island adventures. I can't wait to read Lost on Planet China, which is already on my to-read bookshelf
