pickThis is one heck of an adventure. Troost is funny and maybe just a little crazy. I can‘t believe there is a drink that can get you high for TWO days! That‘s insane. I love that they decided to have their son in Fiji. I can‘t wait to read the next one.

This is such a funny moment I couldn‘t stop laughing about. It was actually about the horrible moment at 4am Fiji time they found out about the 9/11 attacks, but this was just before they realised the former druggie calling to tell them about it was obviously having an acid trip flash back.

Yes. I am fully convinced the world would be a MUCH better place if the American capital was in Key West and our motto was much more chill and cheery. Just a thought.

so-so#readingoceania2024 #vanuatu I am getting a bit tired of the “my year in ….” (Name of South Pacific island) format but he keeps things light and moving and you do catch a bit of history and culture although much of what you catch is being a foreigner there. I learned a bit about cannibalism. I am slowly getting a glimpse of the differences between all the countries in Oceania. Just wish I could locate some better literature along the way
pick#ReadingOceania2024 #Fiji I‘ve been reading A.S. Byatt so almost any book would seem slight in comparison but this was a nice mystery with a very unhard boiled protagonist detective. The book is set in an island paradise where British colonials have decided to import indentured servants from India to slave in the sugar plantations rather than disrupt the natives way of life. Racial, gender and class struggles illuminated without a heavy hand.
