I've decided to commit a brief act of book-adultery (as Kim calls it), and have temporarily set aside Tom Wolfe's The Right Stuff to read WIlliam Gibson's Pattern Recognition. Marvelous book, really. Gibson is very good at cultural analysis, and isolates lots of why people feel the way they do when in foreign countries.
