The Anglo Files by Sarah Lyall
It is a non-fiction, humorous field guide to the British. It is written by an American who lives there with her English husband.
Evening ... A Field Guide to the English
I enjoyed this. Like any ex-pat, the author isn't always consistant about whether or not she enjoys living in the UK. Neither praising all the time, or always finding fault, but commenting on the sorts of things that outsiders notice.
Loved the hedgehog chapter, ... The Anglo Files by Sarah Lyall
First of all, I'd like to say that I've read the reviews of this book -- both here and on Amazon -- and I don't exactly agree with the somewhat low majority opinion on this work. My favorite chapters was the one on newspapers; it made me laugh on more than ... ... Death by Black Hole: And Other Cosmic Quandaries – Neil deGrasse Tyson

(7) Mosques – Razia Grove ... I'll be interested to know what you thought of The Anglo Files. That one's sitting on my To-Read Pile. #51 - The Anglo Files by Sarah Lyall, 270 pages (library). Interesting and funny insights into the lives of the British via an American reporter married to a Englishman and living in England. I appreciated a further look into aspects of the British that I never quite understood. Currently reading The Anglo Files and Little Brother. Glad you enjoyed the audio experience, tutu!

... A Field Guide to the British. It came home with me yesterday but it's not mine - just visiting. The Anglo Files by Sarah Lyall -- the print version would probably be a better bet as I ended up FF'ing through some of her talk of Brits and sex, as well as her (to me) lengthy anecdotes on sexism; her English husband comes from somewhat of an upper class (or at least very high middle) ... Hope your next book goes well, I'm going to have to add The Planets, Peeps and The Anglo Files: A Field Guide to the British to my TBR pile thank you for your reviews! I liked your review of The Anglo Files - on the pile it goes. I travel to the UK fairly often, and it will be good to know how I am unknowingly being culturally insensitive! ... whole "provincial town" thing struck me as a bit silly. I mean, come ON - its LONDON, for God's sake! Although I liked The Anglo Files, my general unfamiliarity with English culture aside from the world of Jane Austen's novels & a few very specific cultural history books focusing on the Rege ...
