An Englishman and an American both have lived in the Netherlands (a.k.a. Holland) for a considerable amount of time. In an extremely funny (although at times somewhat exaggerated) way the authors describe the Dutch and the ways these people have - which may seem strange for a foreigner.
This pageturner is a nice intro to the Dutch for foreigners, and very recognisable for the Dutch themselves.
Available in (at least) English and Dutch.

As being one of the cloggies I of course am prejudiced.

It's a really funny book, although sometimes things are exaggerated (for as far as I notices after all the years living here) and made worse than the actually are. Some are really that bad, but when you are used to it, you won't even notice.
For me it was in some points an eye opener, as I thoughts some things were normal, but don't seem to be so in the US.

When you're going to stay in the Netherlands for some time it really lets you learn something about our way of living and is a funny read. ( )
