The Lost Continent: Travels in Small Town America by Bill Bryson

5.0

Bryson is hilarious. There were sentences in this book that caused me to laugh out loud. He has a way of wording things that is somehow exactly what you're thinking, but much funnier than you could ever dream of being. Bryson came back to America after living in Great Britain for about 20 years, and decided to take a road trip around the country. He visits a lot of small towns, a few big cities, and many tourist traps. He is somewhat cranky and very hilarious throughout the whole thing, making him possibly the only person I could go on such a road trip with. And his book gives you that exact desire.
