I often take travel humor books with me when I travel. Whether it's business trips, vacations with my wife, or 'man weekends' away on my motorcycle to where ever strikes my fancy. I stumbled across this book on a search through my library for 'travel humor', and loved it.
Rich Smith is not a particularly talented writer. But the idea of an Brit traveling to the US, and taking in all the 'Americana' events that he can is an entertaining concept. Rich dives head first into whatever adven More...

Sometimes I fear I have more to say about books I hate than books I love, and this book is a perfect confirmation of my fear. Well maybe "fear" is too strong of a word since ragging on a book can be heaps of fun. Exhibit A:
From fifty pages in until long after I'd finished it, I couldn't stop telling everyone within earshot just how bad this book was. It follows the adventures (ha!) of two British guys discovering the "rollicking world of American festivals," which More...

this book was ok. kind of funny but not super hilarious. i think he barely scratched the surface of american festivals. and the chapter on the hobo convention was wierdly poignant. however, i do want to read his earlier book about breaking old, pointless laws so maybe i liked it better than i thought i did.

Ah, my kind of book. Couple guys take off and travel around a different country on some whimsical quest. In this case, they're British, so the different country is the U.S., but it's fun to see another view of your own country, too. Their quest was to visit some of the crazy carnivals and festivals we have here. (Come to think of it, I read a book a few years ago about an American traveling around England to weird festivals. Can't remember the name of it...)
