Salmonella Men on Planet Porno.....what a wierd title for a book. But coming from Japan, perhaps this is not that unusual. Pakdokter picked it up late last year and only managed to finish reading it during the year end holidays. What a 'whacko' of a book. Made up of a collection of short stories, they are all 'surreal' in nature. It was like having your nightmares jumping out into reality.
Not the type of book pakdokter would pick up again.
The Ayatollah Begs to Differ gives an inside story of the 'Iran' from a native writer who had direct contact with important people in the country as well as from the man in the street.. The writer's description and discussion about people and life in Iran resembles somewhat of Karim Raslan's writings on Indonesia. An interesting read.
