This Land is Your Land

I just finished reading Bill Bryson's hilarious The Lost Continent, a travelogue of his 38-state journey across America in a creaking Chevette. It's actually packed with educational information (like that the Great Lakes -- equaling about the size of the U.K. -- form the largest expanse of fresh water on Earth), but his anecdotes were what made me laugh out loud...and awakened a sense of nostalgia.

Maybe I liked it so much because I am so far away from home and all that he writes about, but I recommend it nonetheless for anyone who wants a fun, breezy read and some good laughs.
