Remittance Girl's Reading Interests
Favorite Books
Although I don't write speculative fiction, I love to read it. I'm also enjoying two very interesting works of non-fiction: "The Lucifer Effect" by Philip Zimbardo and "The Torture Team" by Philippe Sands. For Southeast Asia, I highly recommend "The River of Time" by John Swain. I'm also on a bit of a Foucault kick at the moment, getting through the three volumes of "The History of Sexuality" which turns out to be far more readable than anyone led me to believe.
