Watching the English: The Hidden Rules of English… door Kate Fox

A very useful read. Definitely clarified why the English would be put off by US behaviour. What's interesting is that English that read the book find it humorous and amusing, while as a foreigner I found it factual and dry. Even had to take a 3-book reading break to finally finish it.
Most important lesson: they are reserved and modest: http://www.langmaidpractice.com/wp-content/uploads/Rules-of-E1-1024x702.jpg

No more non-fiction for a while, please.… (meer)

I much preferred the first edition, this second edition is huge and feels harder to get through. Just read the conclusion chapter & use it as a reference book.

Excellent, I loved this. Can't say I've read anything like it before, but interesting content explained in a really nice, humorous way - which I guess shouldn't be surprising :-)
