Every Day Is for the Thief: Fiction - Teju Cole

Doctors earn $500 a month!!! However, everything we pay for in the world is the same in Nigeria. Anywhere you go, as simple as getting gas, someone is getting over on you. I couldn't live like this. Oiling the palms of everyone around me just to get what I need, am paying for or have paid for. NUTS!!

To Hellholes and Back: Bribes, Lies, and the Art of Extreme Tourism - Chuck Thompson Entertaining, yet quite cynical, look at the places traveled. I liked that the author is highly opinionated & gives his unvarnished opinion of the places & people he meets. (Not everyone may appreciate his extremely straightforward style of writing. Thompson reminds me of a mix of Anthony Bourdain & Bill Maher.) The author is not 'politically correct' & doesn't necessarily paint a rosy picture of the places he visited, but I appreciated the detailed info about his travels.
