I just finished re-reading Bill Bryson's book Notes from a Big Country. We were given this book as a wedding gift and I read it just before coming here.
For those unfamiliar with or Bill Bryson - he was born in the US and moved to England in his early twenties. After two decades away he moved back to the US and was asked to write a series of news paper columns on his thoughts about being "home". These columns were later compiled into Notes from a Big Country.
Now, you're probably wondering why I am shamelessly plugging this book on ContrabandVegemite. It's because it PERFECTLY describes what foreigners living in America will think about the country. If you want to know what life here is like - get a copy!
