Currently reading "Notes from a Big Country", also published as "I'm a Stranger Here Myself", by Bill Bryson.
In 1996, Bill Bryson returned to live in the USA, after having lived in England for 20 years. This book is a reprint of a weekly newspaper column he wrote for a British Newspaper, describing his experiences of rediscovering America, and the changes he noticed, having been away for 20 years. The columns cover a wide range of topics, from the Post Office, to garbage disposal units, motels, drive-in movies, baseball, the tax system - about 70 articles (short chapters in the book) in all. All very witty and well-written. This is an ideal book to "dip into". Highly recommended.
