Getting Stoned with Savages: A Trip Through the Islands of Fiji and Vanuatu
J. Maarten Troost, 2006
This was my second book by Troost, the first being The Sex Lives of Cannibals: Adrift in the Equatorial Pacific. While I think Sex Lives was was maybe a little better, this one was definitely a worth-while read. I really enjoy Troost's take on life in the South Pacific - it has really changed my idea on what the area is like, not necessarily for the better, although the people seem mostly pretty cool. Not the centipedes, though. Definitely could do without the foot-long, poisonous centipedes. *Shudder*. Excellent read, though. I look forward to checking out his other book.
