I had come to Tiki Central just to ask this question..the internet is filled with books about tiki culture and how to create it in your man cave and pool house..but I am looking for novels which SMACK of sun and sand and RUM.

I have cobbled together a short list of things i have read or stumbled over
but it is a sad little list and I am dead certain there MUST be more novels
out there that smack of Tiki-ness.

And I challenge the folks who read this post to come up with some more and BETTER examples of the ultimate in beach reads.

Island of the Sequined Love Nun by Christopher Moore
The Moon And Sixpence by W. Somerset Maugham
Tales of the South Pacific by James A. Michener
Paradise News by David Lodge
A Salty Piece of Land by Jimmy Buffett
Don't Stop the Carnival by Herman Wouk
Tourist Season by Carl Hiaasen
Hotel Honolulu by Paul Theroux
Tiki Joe Mysteries: The High-Stakes Patsy by Mark Murphy
