The Lost Continent- Bill Bryson

Yep. I liked Bill Bryson so much that I went ahead and read another book of his. This is his witty take on America as he takes a roadtrip across the country in search of the perfect small town. His descriptions of some towns are dripping with sarcasm that will make you laugh out loud, but during the parts of his trip he was bored, he bored me the reader as well. I guess that's fair enough. I liked best reading his thoughts on places I have actually been. I was laughing hysterically at his description of Mackinac Island. And for my LA friends, I can't resist including his bit on it here:

As I was so close to Los Angeles, I toyed with the idea of driving on in,
but I was put off by the smog and the traffic...I think it's only right that
crazy people should have their own city, but I cannot for the life of me see why
a sane person would want to go there.
