Donna Lyons dlyons — This is a novel written in the first person, from the perspective of an old woman named Hagar. It's basically a retrospective on her life, complete with detailed descriptions of her miserable husband, her miserable children and children-in-law, untimely death, divorce, bodily noises, etc. The book was written in the early 1960's. I really wanted to like this book, however I found the main character very unlikable, unfortunately (probably obvious from the description I gave above). I generally like to keep books and re-read them, but this one is not a keeper. It's back to the Good Will for you, Stone Angel! So sorry.

Marcelo Solís pintamono — I loved this story, it had just the right about of the paranormal, mystery and romance to keep you on the edge of your seat and wanting more.

Hubert Pietrusiak hotparsley — I received this book as part of the Goodreads First Reads program. After a chance meeting at a party, Lisa Napoli stumbles across the adventure of a lifetime. Radio Shangri-La covers two main narrative threads: a memoir of Napoli's sort of mid-life crisis and the history of Bhutan as well as its increasingly rapid democratization and commercialization. As a geography/culture junkie, I found the latter topic more compelling. Indeed, at times Napoli's personal developments seem a bit superfluous to my main interests in the book. This is a great read for those who wish to find out more about the tiny little-known kingdom landlocked between India and China. I found myself often comparing and contrasting Bhutan with the nearby and similar, but long converted into a spiritual tourist mecca, Nepal. While Nepal caters to backpackers seeking spiritual enlightenment, Bhutan targets an elite brand of tourist, even charging a daily rate to visit the country. It was also interesting to see the cultural impact of Kuzoo FM upon the Bhutanese people. In a country where a large percentage of the population is under the age of 30, it is no surprise the programming, especially the station's musical content, caters to a younger crowd. Napoli's account of Bhutan's movement from monarchy into democracy and the bumps along the way also provide food for thought. The people are still very much enamored of their king and royalty, and while the first election is taken very seriously, Napoli provides insight from citizens who are cautious about the changes. A fascinating insight into a quickly Westernizing nation, Radio Shangri-La is an informative, insightful read.
