Two reasons for enjoying this book: First, it is one that can be read for a brief period, then put down, as each story is only a page or two (had to fit into 90 seconds of tv time. Second, Charles Kuralt's wonderment of this great country shines through in every miniature essay. I love his down-home tone and his ability to make each vignette come to life. Wonderfully readable!
