KIN Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I just read this and returned it to the library. I would like to read more by this author, but I can't remember the title or author! I learned about it from a thread here, but now I can't locate the thread! The book was the author telling about growing up in the 1950's. He pretended to be superhero of some kind and froze people with his sight. He told about how happy Americans were in the 50's, he made fun of the advertising, he lived in a small, mid-west city where his dad was the sports writer for the paper and his mom also wrote for the paper. Is it ringing any bells for anyone yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrar Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I haven't read that one, but in answer to your question, every Bill Bryson book I've ever read has been pretty darn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
