an asian reading non-asian (plus other abroad possibilities!)

Acquired Tastes
EVERYTIME I feel pathetic ---and this feeling is there when you are Asian, Capricornian, and Aging---I am dreaming of going to France or Monaco or Maldives; or moments of sadness, I always go to the library and borrow this book!
       Definition of common human act is rich and anecdotal. For example, the definition of smoking. Peter Mayle, the author, (In grammar, this is an appositive with a subject, right, Pasteur section? yes, Mendel section?) defines 'smoking' as considered to be such a noxious and antisocial habit that anyone who has a good word to say about tobacco risks being beaten around the ears with a rolled-up copy of " YES! magazine" (sorry, Peter, this is my version! His version is a surgeon report magazine or something!). His chapter, THE TRUE CIGAR, has a tribute to Havana and the container, which the description is written in vivid and fair details! I have learned much about cigar and "its cousin!"
       The font or the lettering is reader-friendly.
