Sample Book Insights: #1 I had a hard time adjusting to the fact that I didn’t know what was going on in a country I was exploring. It reminded me of how I used to get frustrated with myself when I couldn’t understand what a foreigner had just said in a restaurant. #2 We were driving from Chefchaouen to Fes, and Rida told us about the time he met Brad Pitt in a local market. #3 We visited Morocco, and while the food was good, the experience as a whole was not what I expected.

Download or read book The Lost Continent written by Bill Bryson and published by Anchor Canada. This book was released on 2012-09-25 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I come from Des Moines. Somebody had to." And, as soon as Bill Bryson was old enough, he left. Des Moines couldn't hold him, but it did lure him back. After ten years in England he returned to the land of his youth, and drove almost 14,000 miles in search of a mythical small town called Amalgam, the kind of smiling village where the movies from his youth were set. Instead he drove through a series of horrific burgs, which he renamed Smellville, Fartville, Coleslaw, Coma, and Doldrum. At best his search led him to Anywhere, USA, a lookalike strip of gas stations, motels and hamburger outlets populated by obese and slow-witted hicks with a partiality for synthetic fibres. He discovered a continent that was doubly lost: lost to itself because he found it blighted by greed, pollution, mobile homes and television; lost to him because he had become a foreigner in his own country.
