From perfectly formed potatoes to adulterous US presidents, and from domestic upsets to millennial fever, Bill Bryson just cannot resist airing his opinions and standing up for his (mostly) law-abiding fellow American citizens. But of course after twenty years in England, he is now back on the other side of the pond, and is obviously having a little trouble finding his true American self again. After vigorous exercise on the Appalachian Trail comes this edited collection of Bryson’s most splenetic comic pieces culled from his humorous regular column in the Mail on Sunday.
这本书被豆瓣某小组强力推荐，于是找来看看。作者是写了《万物简史》的Bill Byson（好吧我真没听说过），找的是美版，英国版叫《Notes from a big country》，内容据说略有不同。中文版书名被译为《人在故乡为异客》，倒是十分应景。 全书是作者从英国返回美国后在报纸上开的专...

作者搬回美国后给英国的专栏写的稿子，很多有凑数的嫌疑。感觉很一般般，也比较罗嗦的说。

下载的版本不好，缺页太多。不过，Bill的幽默却随处可见。以后有机会再读。

应该是看的第一本英文散文吧，之前听人提过这本书有趣，看完才明白原来是这样的有趣法。原本预定的是昨天要读完，早上一大早和朋友去骑车逛公园，回来后下午两点多想着也就差20%没读完，就先看了一点别的有的没的，到晚上8点多才开始看，还好男朋友喝酒了睡着了没有打电话，饶是这样没有任何干扰也还是看到11点半才看完。其实11点就撑不住了，看得有点不知所云，起来上个厕所又挣扎着拿起手机勉强看起来了。看完就立马关灯... 应该是看的第一本英文散文吧，之前听人提过这本书有趣，看完才明白原来是这样的有趣法。原本预定的是昨天要读完，早上一大早和朋友去骑车逛公园，回来后下午两点多想着也就差20%没读完，就先看了一点别的有的没的，到晚上8点多才开始看，还好男朋友喝酒了睡着了没有打电话，饶是这样没有任何干扰也还是看到11点半才看完。其实11点就撑不住了，看得有点不知所云，起来上个厕所又挣扎着拿起手机勉强看起来了。看完就立马关灯了，也总算是完成了目标吧。 (展开)

很有意思的一本书，特别是那段，作者写一个特别喜欢抒情的作家，抒发了一大段感情后，他妻子温柔的送上一杯水：亲哎的，该吃药了……

这种唠唠叨叨不停抱怨，还挺好玩的。 不过他吐槽的东西真的还挺有年代感的啊。
