Fluffy pleasures

Some of the books I read recently - "Racist guide to South Africa" is a very funny little book by Simon Kilpatrick that goes about different people who live here.

Its absolutely hilarious and completely politically incorrect collection of essays on blacks,indians,whites and so on - blacks for example eat chicken beaks & legs which they call "walkie talkie". Indian girls are very beautiful until they get married and explode overnight (and they have incredibly long and pronounced sideburns). Local white "afrikaans" walk barefoot and have thick soles on their feet. Greek women all have moustaches and so on.It might be offensive to some but its all good-natured and obviously a joke book.

"Froth on the cappuccino - How small pleasures can save your life" by Maeve Haran is another fluffy little book that somehow appealed to me and I loved it,in fact read it in one sitting.Its a reminder on little pleasures in life and all those little moments that we treasure. I always believed that happiness is not something big and thunderous but in fact collection of small things and this book is something I could relate to.
