Just finished Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Live in North Korea. Very interesting, and more than once brought tears to my eyes.
Now reading The Guns of August.

I read The Cleanest Race: How North Koreans See Themselves and Why it Matters and Out of Mao's Shadow a few weeks ago both interesting but Nothing to Envy was a lot better. It's tragic but its one of those books that you start reading on a Saturday afternoon and end up finishing the next day...
Recently finished Explore Everything: Placehacking the City it's not a bad read, thoroughly enjoyed it, but at times it reads like a PhD thesis that has been recycled (which it is).
Right now I'm nerding out on archaeology books:
Food and Gender in Fiji: Ethnoarchaeological Explorations
A Shark Going Inland Is My Chief: The Island Civilization of Ancient Hawai'i
The Growth and Collapse of Pacific Island Societies: Archaeological and Demographic Perspectives

Just finished reading The Dobe Ju/'Hoansi
Pretty interesting, its about the African bushmen. They have no formal leader so basically everyone contributes to the group. When hunting they swap arrows so whoever kills something doesn't get the respect it might just have been a good arrow. Also hunters 'insult the meat'. Saying ohh... I killed something but its not that great - still you guys should probably come check it out. People refuse to eat meat captured by a boastful hunter. So if the hunter remains humble (insulting his kill) then the tribe will partake.

I bought it as a replacement for my really cheap and abused paperbacks from the early 90's. I also picked up Eldrich Tales. I really like the bindings on these.
