Reviews
"Painfully funny and genuinely insightful...Bryson has never been wittier or more endearing." -- San Francisco Chronicle "Wonderfully droll...Bryson is unparalleled in his ability to cut a culture off at the knees in a way that is so humorous and so affectionate that those being ridiculed are laughing too hard to take offense." -- The Wall Street Journal "Bill Bryson makes writing look too easy." -- USA Today "A cross between de Tocqueville and Dave Barry, Bryson writes about today's America in a way that's both trenchantly observant and pound-on-the-floor, snort-root-beer-out-of-your-nose funny." -- San Francisco Examiner "Bill Bryson could write an essay about dryer lint or fever reducers and still make us laugh out loud." -- Chicago Sun-Times, "Painfully funny and genuinely insightful...Bryson has never been wittier or more endearing." --San Francisco Chronicle "Wonderfully droll...Bryson is unparalleled in his ability to cut a culture off at the knees in a way that is so humorous and so affectionate that those being ridiculed are laughing too hard to take offense." --The Wall Street Journal "Bill Bryson makes writing look too easy." --USA Today "A cross between de Tocqueville and Dave Barry, Bryson writes about today's America in a way that's both trenchantly observant and pound-on-the-floor, snort-root-beer-out-of-your-nose funny." --San Francisco Examiner "Bill Bryson could write an essay about dryer lint or fever reducers and still make us laugh out loud." --Chicago Sun-Times
Synopsis
A classic from the New York Times bestselling author of A Walk in the Woods and The Body. After living in Britain for two decades, Bill Bryson recently moved back to the United States with his English wife and four children (he had read somewhere that nearly 3 million Americans believed they had been abducted by aliens -- as he later put it, "it was clear my people needed me"). They were greeted by a new and improved America that boasts microwave pancakes, twenty-four-hour dental-floss hotlines, and the staunch conviction that ice is not a luxury item. Delivering the brilliant comic musings that are a Bryson hallmark, I'm a Stranger Here Myself recounts his sometimes disconcerting reunion with the land of his birth. The result is a book filled with hysterical scenes of one man's attempt to reacquaint himself with his own country, but it is also an extended if at times bemused love letter to the homeland he has returned to after twenty years away.

    TERRIFIC transaction!! EXCELLENT packaging!! SPEEDY shipment!! GREAT seller!! Thank you for accepting my offer!! Item as described!! Highly POSITIVE value!! I had my doubts about whether this delicate display would survive the postal journey, but the seller did a meticulous job wrapping the loose items, for which I'm very grateful.

    Item arrived just as described. Seller stated "Tested works great!" and were spot on! Item works flawlessly and is in great condition!! Very well packaged as well - seller took the time to wrap item in plastic to ensure would not get damaged if delivered in the rain! Above and beyond satisfied! Would definately buy from this seller again wihout hesitation! Very happy with this purchase!

    Received dirty with hair clippings inside cutter and inside box it was shipped in. Appearance says it all. Item was not clean or sanitized as described. Contacted seller. Wanted to work with him person to person. I was willing to keep the cutter and clean/sanitized myself if he would refund a little for my troubles. He decided to attack me with ebay rules. I know now you have to watch out for sellers like this that sell junk with a good story. I did clean/sanitize cutter.

    Buyer: “Can I get half my money back?” Me: “No, but you can return it for all your money back.” Buyer: “Nah, I’ll just keep it… and leave a bad review.” The reality - I stand behind my items and always honor full returns through eBay.

  • Better than a TV Sitcom Laugh Track

    One of the funniest books I've read in a long time! Great introspective on the "American Way" from someone who grew up in the U.S., lived and worked in England for 20 years, and then returned to live in a New England town with his English wife and their children. The chapters (which are relatively short) in this book are the weekly articles he wrote for the newspaper back in England for which he worked as a journalist.while there. They were supposed to be a "view of what it was like to be an born-and-raised American returning home after being gone for 20 years." While some chapters are more sobering than others, they are all humorous and will tickle your funny bone in ways you never knew it could be. Definitely a must-read book. (And, no, this is not a paid advertisement--just a fan's ...
