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

4.0

This book Bryson seems to grumble a lot more than in the other ones I've read, and it was getting kind of old after awhile. But I can't help but think that most of his adventures (getting lost, can't find the place he's looking for, or disappointed in the patheticness of the place he's looking for) would have been avoided if he had the internet, gps, cell phone, etc. But since this took place in 1990 none of that was around. Which led me to an interesting thought...has gps, internet, etc made our travels more boring, or more enjoyable? Getting lost is half the fun, right?
