Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland-esque isn't it? With the excellent leadership skills from Bong A'Rooney,(with the exception of the cow castrations) the hoedown at Keller's was a tremendous success.

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

The "lead" character is a tiki god and the novel opens in FI, before wandering through space and time and dimensions. Good read also, especially for those of us who live on the Pacific island of Alameda and appreciate the local references, but still good for mainlanders as well.
