Dave Hill (5)

I know of Dave Hill through seeing him with Rhett Miller at Sketchfest where he does a bit of standup and a bit of guitar shredding, but this book is from a slightly different persona, I'm guessing similar to his radio show (which I didn't even know about). It's very funny, a little bit silly, and occasionally tedious. I had to take a break because it's a bit repetitious but when I picked it up again after a few days I eagerly finished the book, like somehow it was funnier with a bit of distance I could come back and enjoy the very consistent humor.… (altro)

The author, native to Cleveland, is one-quarter Canadian (spoiler alert: maybe more!) and has been fascinated by Canada since an early age. In this book, he makes a series of trips to different Canadian towns and cities and writes about his observations of Canadian customs, cuisine and anything else that catches his fancy. It is whimsical and as a Canadian, I suffer from the abnormal interest of how others see us so prevalent in this country. So I read it with great glee. Not sure if it would appeal to non-Canadians.… (altro)
