About the event:
After living in Britain for two decades, Bill Bryson moved back to the United States with his English wife and four mostly-English children.
His reunion with his homeland was frequently disconcerting. That which had been familiar had become…strange and new.
In this book, first published in 2000, Bryson recounts his attempts to requaint himself with his own country.
Twenty-five years later, it might be fun to look at his adventures and consider how strange we would find the United States today had we last visited it in 2001.
Read the book and come talk about it.
Just try not to get TOO nostalgic. Things were never THAT good.
