Well, if you're gonna do this, how about we look at the shortest books in America:
How not to interfere with other countries.
How to be "cool" without acting like an idiot.
How to realise that America is not always right.
Fast food is not a smart thing to eat regularly.
Blah, this could go on forever... |
