Not Like Us: How Europeans Have Loved, Hated, And Transformed American Culture Since World War II by Richard Pells

this book had the unfortunate distinction of being our group selection AFTER Gravity's Rainbow. Largely anecdotal, this anticipate's T.R. Reid's United Stes of Europe and suffers from the same flaws. My friends and I muddled through such, though, to be fair, it isn't the book's fault.
