Blood Makes the Grass Grow Green: A Year in the Desert with Team America
Very candid nice style of writing. And I liked this paragraph enough to retype it here:
"Donkeys...I've decided that donkeys are universally cute. Really cute. So cute that donkeys defy any arguments of preferences being relative. When you pet their noses, they blink their eyes and bashfully look away as if embarrassed. And when donkeys hee-haw, they have their mouths and lips curled up as if they are smiling. Boyfriend and girlfriend donkeys rest their heads on each other's rumps and fan each other's faces with their tails. And kid donkeys the size of an average dog, trot around with big smiles on their faces and floppy, dangly, long donkey ears. Too cute."
