Some Reads for Valentine's Day?

-
Found these reads in Times Bookstore in Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur. Thought it'd be quite apt for Valentine's Day. According to reviews, the first one's funny, the second one is helpful for someone who needs tips for a new husband in 5 days...hmmm...
Title/Author: Asian Aphrodisiacs/Jerry Hopkins
Publisher: Periplus Editions/Berkeley Books Pte Ltd (31 Jan 2007)
Pages: 272
ISBN 13: 978-0794603960
Synopsis: "Tiger penis soup? Rhino horn on the oyster half shell? Give me a break!" So says bestselling author Jerry Hopkins as he meets the people, visits the places, and "road tests" dozens of Asia's most popular aphrodisiacs in the first definitive survey of the region's best and worst "turn-on's. Hopkins travels from Bangkok to Tokyo, Jakarta, Hong Kong and Kathmandu in search of the region's most exciting pick-me-ups. Along the way, he discovers that Asia was first in the development and prescription of aphrodisiacs, first in pornography and sex toys, and first in breast and penis enhancement surgery. In this exhaustively researched and often hilarious investigation of a subject that has held the world enthralled for thousands of years, the author discovers that Asia has been - and still is - in the lead when it comes to the promise of sexual enhancement.

World Book Day: When, Why and Wow...

First of all, HAPPY WORLD BOOK DAY EVERYONE!! :) Let's spread the joy of reading, not only today, but every other day by sharing great reads with your friends and family, also, if you have too many on your shelves, give them to those in need...I came across this on guardian.co.uk and thought that I'd share it with you... "With or without TV debates, most thoughts at present in the UK are turning to the choice we will make in the forthcoming general election. However, the stark fact is that very many people in the UK will not be a part of that process; not because they don't want to necessarily, but because they lack the most basic skills to do so. They can't read. They cannot make a choice. It is a truly terrible democratic deficit." (More...) The thought of parting with your favourite books can be painful. To be honest, I had problems giving mine away. But just thinking of the impact it can make on a person's life helped the 'parting' a whole lot...

Dear bookaholics, If you were wondering why this bookaholic is no longer putting up her usual book reviews and interesting bookish finds, and only updates her blog with events, well, it's because I'm very tied up with something else right now. However, it'll end very soon...and my book reviews will be up again in July :) I'm looking forward to it as I REALLY REALLY MISS READING!!!! If you have found any good reads recently, please feel free to post your recommendations here or drop me an email :) Till then, keep reading!! (image from google images)
