I'm still reading through Bill Bryson's I'm a Stranger Here Myself and enjoying it very much, but the similar format of each entry is weighing slightly on that enjoyment. They're too short, unfortunately. While the content is still very good, Bryson's unable to go into enough depth on some topics in these three- to four-page essays to really cover them as effectively and hilariously as he does in his longer works. Maybe part of it is also that he didn't have much time to put each of these together before it needed to be published originally. Some bits are convulsively funny, absolutely classic must-reads for any middle-aged American, and the rest is good examples of short humorous prose, so I still highly recommend the book to any Bryson fans and also to anyone interested in the works of Dave Barry and Garrison Keilor, but it's probably number three on my favorite Bryson books list.
