Is it cold in here?:
Heh.
Rogue regime : / Becker, Jasper. Sloppy editing hurts the credibility of this North Korea book.
EDIT: The Paranoid Peninsula, Paul French. Detailed. Best line so far is a quote from Walter Mondale, 'Anyone who claims to be an expert on North Korea is either a liar or a fool'.
Avec:
The Lost Cyclist!
An amazing travelogue that makes me want to adventure.
Is it cold in here?:
"Witness to Transformation: Refugee Insights into North Korea", Haggard and Noland. Extensive structured interviews and statistical analysis.
EDIT: "American Nerd: The Story of My People", Benjamin Nugent.
EDIT: "North Korea: A Strange Socialist Fortress", Hy-Sang Lee. Heavy on economics, and also includes some finds from 1996 propaganda including "Kim Jong Il Is the God of the Contemporary World", and a statement that both Kims were gods superior to Christ in love, to Buddha in benevolence, to Confucius in virtue, and to Mohammed in justice. (From Rodong Sinmun and Minju Choson). The latter also appears in Marcus Noland's "Korea After Kim Jong-Il".
EDIT: "Kosher Jesus". by Rabbi Shmuley Boteach. Intriguing, but so far doesn't seem to have the rigor necessary to support its conclusion.
LTK:
Are you reading those back-to-back or all at the same time?
I bought Terry Pratchett's Unseen Academicals as an experiment from Amazon's ebook download service. Turns out they only object when you try to download PC games from their US site, while ebooks are fine. Anyway, I've discovered that my Sony reader is the functional equivalent of a Kindle touch wifi when I crack it and install the kindle android application. Sweet!
Is it cold in here?:
Partial overlap.
Currently _The Inquisitor's Apprentice_, by Chris Moriarty. He does atmosphere well. It is unmistakably a Young Adult book.
