The Lost Continent: Travels in Small Town America by Bill Bryson

4.0

Apart from his constant commentary on the size of Americans, as much as the size of America, this is a durable guide to the USA's small towns and vast highways. The world of 1989, when it was written, is still there in 2023: diners, tourist traps, Vegas. A good way into Bryson's oeuvre, and you quickly get used to his hyperbolic style!
