I notice that this blog gets visitors from search engines looking for “Singapore” and certain book or documentary titles, particularly those about global warming, organic food, and consumer culture. I do have some relevant books in my possession, but I also am in US at the moment. However, once in Singapore, I’m open to lending out my books, particularly if you’re having trouble finding certain titles. If you have a request, feel free to say it in comments. I can’t promise everything, but you won’t know until you ask!
