Made in America: An Informal History of the English Language in the United States by Bill Bryson
4.0
I usually stick to fiction but in preparation for a move to America I thought I’d do some research and try to understand them a bit more.
I must admit there were a number of sections I scanned over particularly the early stuff about the founding. As a bit of a foodie I found the ‘Eating in America’ section really interesting.
An amusing if slightly baffling at times. Not something I’d read a second time but glad I picked it up.
