Don't Stop the Carnival: A Novel by Herman Wouk

In today @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange, Pattaya.

It's every parrot head's dream: to leave behind the rat race of the workaday world and start life all over again amidst the cool breezes, sun-drenched colors, and rum laced drinks of a tropical paradise.

It's the story of Norman Paperman, a New York City press agent who, facing the onset of middle age, runs away to a Caribbean island to reinvent himself as a hotel keeper.

(Hilarity and disaster of a sort peculiar to the tropics ensue.)

It's the novel in which the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of such acclaimed and bestselling novels as The Caine Mutiny and War and Remembrance draws on his own experience (Wouk and his family lived for seven years on an island in the sun) to tell a story at once brilliantly comic and deeply moving.

Outsider in Amsterdam by 

In today @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange, Pattaya

On a quiet street in downtown Amsterdam, the founder of a new religious society/commune, a group that calls itself “Hindist” and mixes elements of various “Eastern” traditions is found hanging from a ceiling beam.

Detective-Adjutant Gripstra and Sergeant de Gier of the Amsterdam police are sent to investigate what looks like a simple suicide, but they are immediately suspicious of the circumstances.  
 
This now classic novel, first published in 1975, introduces Janwillem van de Wetering’s lovable Amsterdam cop duo of portly, worldly-wise Gripstra and handsome, contemplative de Gier.

With its unvarnished depiction of the legacy of Dutch colonialism and the darker facets of Amsterdam’s free drug culture, this excellent procedural asks the question of whether a murder may ever be justly committed.

What's the Matter with Kansas?: How Conservatives Won the Heart of America by Thomas Frank.

Traded In today @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe / Guesthouse, Pattaya.

The bestseller, praised as "hilariously funny . . . the only way to understand why so many Americans have decided to vote against their own economic and political interests"

Hailed as "dazzlingly insightful and wonderfully sardonic" "very funny and very painful" and "in a different league from most political books" What's the Matter with Kansas? unravels the great political mystery of our day: Why do so many Americans vote against their economic and social interests? With his acclaimed wit and acuity, Thomas Frank answers the riddle by examining his home state, Kansas-a place once famous for its radicalism that now ranks among the nation's most eager participants in the culture wars.

Charting what he calls the "thirty-year backlash"-the popular revolt against a supposedly liberal establishment-Frank reveals how conservatism, once a marker of class privilege, became the creed of millions of ordinary Americans.

A brilliant analysis-and funny to boot-What's the Matter with Kansas? is a vivid portrait of an upside-down world where blue-collar patriots recite the Pledge while they strangle their life chances; where small farmers cast their votes for a Wall Street order that will eventually push them off their land; and where a group of frat boys, lawyers, and CEOs has managed to convince the country that it speaks on behalf of the People.

The Celeb Diaries: The Sensational Inside Story of the Celebrity Decade by Mark Frith.

  Traded In today @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe / Guesthouse, Pattaya.

Has Posh got thinner? What's the latest on Britney? Who's getting together and who's splitting up? Every Tuesday, two million eager readers snatch up their brand-new copy of Heat, ready to devour the latest gossip about the celebs.

But there's one question everyone's desperate to know, what are the celebs really like? Who's got the craziest demands and the biggest entourage at a photo shoot? Do any of them eat normally? Who's nice, who's nasty, who's a demanding diva and who's just plain weird.

One man has the answer, Mark Frith turned Heat into the biggest celebrity mag in the country.

Cheeky, funny and never fawning, Heat was a new source of celeb info when it started in 2000.

And Marks' been there since the beginning, from his first interview with Posh to the rise and fall of Jade and Big Brother, through to Britney's tragic descent from sexpot to being sectioned.

From Kate Moss and Paris Hilton to Amy Winehouse and Cheryl Cole, in green rooms and VIP lounges, celebrities have confided in Mark and have been highly indiscreet in his presence.

Now, for this first time, Mark is opening up his diaries.

And no one is safe.

The Revelation Code: A Novel by Andy McDermott

In today @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange, Pattaya.

For fans of James Rollins and Matthew Reilly comes the next exciting, globe-trotting adventure in Andy McDermott’s explosive series featuring American archaeologist Nina Wilde and ex-SAS bodyguard Eddie Chase.

 
The Bible’s last book hides a secret that could end the world.
 
In the heart of Iraq, on the eve of Operation Iraqi Freedom, a CIA special forces unit met with Arab rebels near long-hidden ancient ruins, a place from which the Americans were direly warned to stay away. But team member Ezekiel Cross didn’t listen and made an astounding discovery, one worth killing for.
 
Now Cross is a ruthless cult leader on an ominous mission. Convinced that he’s unlocked the Secrets of the Bible’s Book of Revelation, he’s determined to gather four stone angels that will trigger God’s promised End of Days. And he’s not alone.

A former U.S. president, with a vision of all-out religious warfare, plays a role in the dark plot. But while Cross may have the clues to tracking down the remaining angels, he hasn’t been able to match them to real-world locations. For that he has coerced famed archaeologist Nina Wilde into assisting him, using her husband, ex–special forces soldier Eddie Chase, as collateral.
 
With Eddie held hostage, Nina is forced to recover relics of untold power from Rome to Israel. She must find a way to halt Cross’s mad quest, because the last piece of the puzzle is at hand—and with it comes the most terrifying revelation of all.

Geek Love by Katherine Dunn.

Traded in today @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange, Pattaya.

Geek Love is the story of the Binewskis, a carny family whose mater- and pater familias set out, with the help of amphetamine, arsenic, and radioisotopes to breed their own exhibit of human oddities.

There’s Arturo the Aquaboy, who has flippers for limbs and a megalomaniac ambition worthy of Genghis Khan . . . Iphy and Elly, the lissome Siamese twins . . . albino hunchback Oly, and the outwardly normal Chick, whose mysterious gifts make him the family’s most precious and dangerous asset. 

As the Binewskis take their act across the backwaters of the U.S., inspiring fanatical devotion and murderous revulsion; as its members conduct their own Machiavellian version of sibling rivalry, Geek Love throws its sulfurous light on our notions of the freakish and the normal, the beautiful and the ugly, the holy and the obscene. Family values will never be the same.

Samurai William: The Englishman Who Opened Japan by Giles Milton.

Traded in today @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange, Pattaya.

With all the adventure, derring-do, and bloodcurdling battle scenes of his earlier book, Nathaniel’s Nutmeg, acclaimed historian Giles Milton dazzles readers with the true story of William Adams, the first Englishman to set foot in Japan (and the inspiration for James Clavell’s bestselling novel Shogun).

Beginning with Adams’s startling letter to the East India Company in 1611 more than a decade after he’d arrived in Japan, Samurai William chronicles the first foray by the West
into that mysterious closed-off land.

Drawing upon the journals and letters of Adams as well as the other Englishmen who came looking for him, Samurai William presents a unique glimpse of Japan before it once again closed itself off from the world for another two hundred years.

Novel without a Name by Duong Thu Huong.
 
Traded In today @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop Pattaya.
 
“Reminiscent of All Quiet on Western Front and The Red Badge of Courage. . . . A breathtakingly original work."
 
Twenty-eight-year-old Quan has been fighting for the Communist cause in North Vietnam for a decade.
Filled with idealism and hope when he first left his village, he now spends his days and nights dodging stray bullets and bombs, foraging scraps of food to feed himself and his men.
Quan seeks comfort in childhood memories as he tries to sort out his conflicting feelings of patriotism and disillusionment.
Then, given the chance to return to his home, Quan undertakes a physical and mental journey that brings him face to face with figures from his past, his angry father, his childhood sweetheart, his boyhood friends now maimed or dead and ultimately to the shattering reality that his innocence has been irretrievably lost in the wake of the war.
In a voice both lyrical and stark, Duong Thu Huong, one of Vietnam’s most beloved writers, powerfully conveys the conflict that spiritually destroyed her generation.

The Gangster We Are All Looking For, By THI DIEM THUY LE.

Traded In today @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange, Pattaya.

This acclaimed novel reveals the life of a Vietnamese family in America through the knowing eyes of a child finding her place and voice in a new country.

In 1978 six refugees, a girl, her father, and four “uncles” are pulled from the sea to begin a new life in San Diego.
In the child’s imagination, the world is transmuted into an unearthly realm: she sees everything intensely, hears the distress calls of inanimate objects, and waits for her mother to join her.
But life loses none of its strangeness when the family is reunited. As the girl grows, her matter-of-fact innocence eddies increasingly around opaque and ghostly traumas: the cataclysm that engulfed her homeland, the memory of a brother who drowned and, most inescapable, her father’s hopeless rage.

Thailand, The Worldly Kingdom by Maurizio Peleggi.
 
Traded back In today @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Guesthouse / Cafe, Pattaya.
 
Tourist brochures and travel guides depict Thailand as an exotic country with a rich cultural heritage, strong religious traditions, and a popular monarchy.
Historians also contribute to Thailand’s international allure with chronicles of its unique historical and cultural continuity in comparison to the other southeast Asian countries, whose histories are stained by colonialism and nationalist struggles for independence.
 
Thailand challenges these stereotypes with a reinterpretation as well as an introduction to the emergence of Thailand as a nation-state.
The book argues that the development of Thai nationhood was a long-term process shaped by interactions with the outside world, its pursuit of civilization, and, more recently, globalization.
Maurizio Peleggi original account investigates, among other issues, the evolution of the geographical and linguistic landscapes, changes in class and gender relations, the role of institutions and ideologies, modern cultural expressions, social memory, and the conception of the Thai national self as contrasted against the racial and cultural Others of Burmese, Chinese and Westerners.

Trafalgar & Josh by Terence Teasdale.
 
Traded In today @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange, Pattaya.

A novel by Terence Teasdale.

It is spring in Sydney. Dr Trafalgar Trayson, a celebrated psychiatrist working overseas returns to Australia.

After twenty years of marriage and three children, he sacrifices his career, marriage, and family by falling in love with Josh, a young Maltese man separated from his parents.

It is a story of turmoil and love and heart-wrenching consequences: a love that has a devastating end.

Trafalgar and Josh is an eagerly awaited first novel from Terence Teasdale, who juggles a complicated intense tempestuous story of a co-dependent love-at-first-sight relationship between a successful psychiatrist, Dr Trayson, and Josh, a beautiful but damaged young man, and the psychiatrist's brittle on-going affiliation with an estranged bitter wife and his ambivalent adult children, and the fighting acceptance of a collapsed career.

Fowler: My Autobiography by Robbie Fowler.

Traded back In today @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Guesthouse / Cafe, Pattaya.

Pronounced as the greatest goalscoring talent since Jimmy Greaves, 17-year old Robbie Fowler was immediately catapulted to fame and fortune. 
The thin, baby-faced Toxteth lad was now a millionaire, an idol, and inspiration to every kid who kicked a soccer ball. 
Yet his incredible potential was never quite realized. 
Injuries and persistent rumors of drug abuse and depression meant that he never became the world-beater so many predicted. 
This is a fascinating and unbelievably frank insight into the game, and a candid account of an incredible career, taking us behind the closed doors of professional soccer to expose what really happens at both club and international level.

Kevin Keegan: An Intimate Portrait of Football's Last Romantic 
by Ian Ridley.

Traded In today @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange, Pattaya.

At Liverpool in the early 1970s Kevin Keegan won three First Division titles, two EUFA Cups, two FA Cups and the European Cup. 
At Hamburg he was crowned Footballer of the Year two years running, won the Bundesliga title in 1978-79 and reached the European Cup Final. 
At Southampton he was voted PFA Player of the Year and was awarded an OBE for his services to Association Football. 
In his debut season with Newcastle United he helped the club to promotion and he captained the England team for six years from 1976-1982.

As a manager his career has been no less newsworthy, although not always for the right reasons. 
Five heady and successful years at Newcastle from 1992-1997 were followed by more controversial spells with Fulham, England and Manchester City. 
In 2005, Keegan announced his retirement. 
Then, in 2008, he made headlines by returning to Newcastle United, the scene of his greatest triumphs, an announcement which was greeted ecstatically by Newcastle supporters and no less sensationally resigned in acrimonious circumstances only nine months later.

A revered sports journalist with unparalleled access to insider exclusives, Ian Ridley is the perfect man for the task of understanding what it is that makes Kevin Keegan tick.
Training his brilliantly incisive and penetrating gaze on Keegan, Ridley offers an unprecedented insight into the mind of this most enigmatic of men.
