I picked this one up bc it seemed a short and enjoyable read, but i was wrong.. they shouldve putten only "american" in caps lock in the title, bc thats all the book talks about, its so nasty, i dont want to fucking hear the history of the fucking united states of america, i want to read about trains!!!!!! fucking stupid ass book, never picking up anything with "american" in the title again, so self absorbed and egocentric ( )
