 The Geography of Bliss: One Grump's Search for the Happiest Places in the World
by Eric Weiner (910.4 WEI)
Part foreign affairs discourse, part humor, and part twisted self-help guide, this book takes the reader from America to Iceland to India in search of happiness, or, in the crabby author's case, moments of "un-unhappiness."

God's Middle Finger: Into the Lawless Heart of the Sierra Madre
by Richard Grant (917.21 GRA)
The rules of law and society have never taken hold in the Sierra Madre, which is home to bandits, drug smugglers, Mormons, cave-dwelling Tarahumara Indians, opium farmers, cowboys, and other assorted outcasts.
