## Description

Bill Bryson has the rare knack of being out of his depth wherever he goes - even (perhaps especially) in the land of his birth. This became all too apparent when, after nearly two decades in England, the world's best-loved travel writer upped sticks with Mrs Bryson, little Jimmy et al. and returned to live in the country he had left as a youth. Of course there were things Bryson missed about Blighty but any sense of loss was countered by the joy of rediscovering some of the forgotten treasures of his childhood: the glories of a New England autumn; the pleasingly comical sight of oneself in shorts; and motel rooms where you can generally count on being awakened in the night by a piercing shriek and the sound of a female voice pleading, 'Put the gun down, Vinnie, I'll do anything you say.' Whether discussing the strange appeal of breakfast pizza or the jaw-slackening direness of American TV, Bill Bryson brings his inimitable brand of bemused wit to bear on that strangest of phenomena - the American way of life.

Review: Good read - I have most of his books and always enjoy the read. Good for on the airplane:)
Review: Just FYI - Published in the U.S. as "I'm a Stranger Here Myself."

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Humorous and well told

I enjoyed reading this even though it’s 25 years old. Most things are still relevant and the author is such a good story teller. This is in short segments that can be read at leisure.
