Re: currently reading?
"Barrel Fever" - by David Sedaris... this is his first collection (1994) of stories and essays. Unlike his hilarious later autobiographical accounts, these works are mostly fictitious...sarcastic and occasionally funny, but he hadn't yet found his niche or voice.
"The Lost Continent" -by Bill Bryson (just finished during a weekend plane-trip). Travelogue of small-town Americana. Scathing in its criticism of dumpy two-bit towns and stripmalls/tourist traps; heartwarming when he assesses the essence of life out in the wilds of America.
