Tycoon's War

[Playa Pete]

Let's start a list of fiction and non-fiction books, films and videos that we think would educate and entertain ex-pats about life here. Every so often I'll collate all the suggestions in single, updated posts. I hope we won't bog the thread down by arguing among ourselves about the merits of specific works. People who would enjoy those discussions can start separate threads.
