Japanese Schoolgirl Inferno
An in depth (as far as you can get) look into Tokyo teen fashion and it's subculture groups. It focuses on fashion groups dating back to the 50's and provides detailed descriptions of the trends as well as diagrams, must-haves, and ideal boyfriends.

I did read a few good books though, Atonement and Magical Thinking by Augusten Burroughs. I have much more to say about the cruise - but I'll save that for my own thoughts.

those were some pretty elementary observations..
