For something non-fiction, I'd recommend Bill Bryson's The Lost Continent. It's an informative, hilarious, and sometimes grimly cynical account of Bryson's return to America after years living in England. There's a mix of social commentary, anecdote, and fascinating insights into small-town America at the end of the 80s.

In fact, I'd recommend pretty much any of Bryson's travel books for the same reason. Notes from a Small Island for the UK, Neither Here nor There for Europe, Down Under for Australia, and A Walk in the Woods for the Appalachian Trail.
