Towering Book Slush

I'm going to Brasil on a five-week holiday next week.

Please recommend some holiday reading, and tell me why you think I'll enjoy it.

oooh! that sounds good. You haven't recommended it to me before; I'll look for it.

if you can, try to get it as the double version with both myra breckinridge and myron, the sequel. i didn't think it was as good, but it had its moments. plus, there's a locale that i had problems visualising and i want to see if others have the same problem.
added bonus: film version with raquel welch for superhappy enjoyment, though it's terribly convoluted and admittedly produced "under a haze of pot smoke." plus mae west makes one of her last film appearances, practically blind with glaucoma and really creepy with her old lech lasciviousness.

Sounds like the kind of book hard to find; but I'll keep my eyes peeled for it.
