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

Book Review: Funny and astonishing look at ourselves (if not frightening)
Summary: 5 Stars

Mr. Bryson once again gives us a refreshing view of ourselves -- though in bite-size bits this time -- since these were originally articles published on Sundays in London. Recommended approach: 1. Read slowly to make book last longer. 2. Laugh out loud to make others wonder what the fuss is about, and then just say "you'll have to read the book" 3. Move to London so you don't have to wait another two years to read the sequel (you can read them in the Sunday Mail)
