I like it even if it's not as random as it's supposed to be and quite self-indulgent (hot air balloon ride over the Smokies, anyone?) but he does touch on stuff off the beaten path.
However, as you say, it works as an US roadtrip version of QI.

Indeed, I think it has been marketed as something it isn't but it is fun and interesting and occasionally quite quirky in a nice Stephen Fry sort of way.

That made me want to go in a hot air balloon ;) Though I'll watch anything with Mr Fry in. I'll probably put the book on my Xmas wish list.

Not to mention that he picked the best time to be in the Smokies with the full autumn colours out. The US has some awesome scenere in places and the Smoky Mountains are certainly one of them. I was a little early when I passed through during my roadtrip last year as the leaves just started to turn but it was still wonderful. Until you hit the horror that is Gatlinburg...

I'm still jealous I wasn't invited on the road trip my dad and brother did (I was in the middle of my masters). I might go and visit sometime if Obama gets in - less scary that way ;)

The book's marvellous, even better than the tv series. :-)
