Review: Books: The killer's Guide to Iceland

How I found this book is a funny story.
Last year I backpacked through Europe, starting in london and going all the way to Prague, Spain, France and Italy, among other places. Anyway, while we stayed in a hostel in Venezia I found this book in one of my drawers. I must say that apparently It is common knownledge that if you find a book in a hostel you replace it with one of your own and take the one you found. I didn't had a book that day so i practically stole the killer's Guide to Iceland by Zane Radcliffe.
I started reading the killer's guide that same day, but as it always happens to me i start reading other five books at the same time and end up finishing them years later.
One year later I found myself reading the killers guide again, only to find out that I loved this book.
This book is full of dark humor, great characters, twists and beutifull landscapes that I am sure can only be found in Iceland.
I wont spoil anything of the story so you go out and buy it(or steal it like i did), but i must say that of course there are killers, suspense, grim emotions and a lot of references to Europe that reminded me of all the great souvenirs I brought back a year ago.
Now I must go back and read the all the other books I left pending.

why i cant bring myself to do it?.

When it comes to relationships I'm a really different guy. A long time ago my psychologist told me that it's not that I am antisocial, its just that I tend to socialize in very different ways and look for unsual ways to meet someone. Apparently my social skills improved over the last years, don't get me wrong, I have always made very good friends over the years, but sometimes I still think I need to find a best friend and make new ones.
So the thing is, when I am in a situation when I have to take initiative to meet new people, Why I can't bring myself to do it?.
