The Sex Lives of Cannibals: Adrift in the Equatorial Pacific by J. Maarten Troost

This was a fun, light read about a guys experiences while living on a Pacific atoll for 2 years. It's mostly about the culture shot he and his wife experienced all written in a sarcastic, humorous way. It's pretty short and quick to read. I laughed out loud several times on the bus while reading it. Not a whole lot in terms of plot here, but the outlandish living conditions are enough to keep me reading. I plan to read his next book, Lost on Planet China as well which I'll post about when I'm done. It gets my recommendation, especially if you just finished a long, relatively humorless 2000+ page trilogy ;)
