Publisher's Notes
After living in Britain for two decades, Bill Bryson moved back to the U.S. with his English wife and four children. Here, he delivers the brilliant comic musings that are his hallmark as he recounts his sometimes disconcerting reunion with America. Along the way, Bryson reveals his rules for life (# 1: It is not permitted to be both slow and stupid. You must choose one or the other.) The result is a book filled with hysterical scenes of one man's attempt to reacquaint himself with the country of his birth.
