I'm a Stranger Here Myself: Notes on Returning to America After 20 Years Away

I loved this book! It is a laugh-out loud account of the "culture" of the US from a guy who left for Britain two decades ago and has recently returned. Many times comedic is bitingly mean spirited, which is tedious for me- but Bryson is able to communicate the humor in a funny but loving, appreciative manner. Kudos! His stories are written as if he is your best friend, sitting in your living room, throwing back a pint or two and having a couple of laughs about, well, America.
