We're on a roll and Anjanette has selected the Apr. 3, 2015, book: "The Sex Lives of Cannibals: Adrift in the Equatorial Pacific" by J. Maarten Troost. Don't let the racy title fool you. It's actually a travelogue. Here is a description from the most excellent Amazon.com:
At the age of twenty-six, Maarten Troost—who had been pushing the snooze
button on the alarm clock of life by racking up useless graduate
degrees and muddling through a series of temp jobs—decided to pack up
his flip-flops and move to Tarawa, a remote South Pacific island in the
Republic of Kiribati. He was restless and lacked direction, and the idea
of dropping everything and moving to the ends of the earth was
irresistibly romantic. He should have known better.
Little bit of a cliffhanger there.
Here is a review:
You know how you feel when you've just finished a really good book and
want to tell everyone you know about it? That is how I feel about THE
SEX LIVES OF CANNIBALS. During the first few chapters I was laughing
out loud so much and reading passages to my husband so often that he
mentioned he wouldn't even have to read the book. However since he
formerly lived in the Marshall Islands, this book hits home to him and
he could hardly wait until I was done to grab it from my hand.
