I've read very little from guidebooks or phrasebooks over the last six months.
Except for a few books to better understand local traditions.

In Orissa (India), I read "Black Balamut" by Oldi, based on the Mahabharata, about the life of Krishna and other events in Orissa and Rajasthan during that period ))
An interesting little book in the genre of alternative history mythology. They turned the Mahabharata upside down; Krishna and the Pandavas ended up being almost the main villains ) Krishnaites would hardly understand ) But I liked it. For a general understanding of local mythology and remembering a heap of names from the Indian divine pantheon, it's a decent book.

Now, in light of an upcoming trip to Thailand, I'm reading "The Third Gender" by Totman about ladyboys. The book is more documentary than fictional. Well, what can I say. Poor people. Although, if they like living that way, it's their business.

Знание некоторых закономерностей освобождает от изучения многих фактов.
