I'm a Stranger Here Myself, Bill Bryson

More humor travel writing, this one much more of the type I enjoy. This is an expat American's attempt to reconnect with the land of his birth by driving through 38 of the lower 48. It won't be my favorite travel humor (because it's hard to be Round Ireland With a Fridge), but he has a keen eye for the ridiculous and an ability to be incredibly opinionated and crotchety about everything without seeming as offensive as he really ought to. Very fun.

my husband loves his books. he laughed out loud repeatedly and insisted on reading me passages from the camping on the Appalachia trail one... I forget the title. this is very odd behavior for him!

He's reading the Britain one now.

I read the Appalachian trail one- less my speed but certainly still hilarious! I'll have to watch for the Britain one.
