The Points of My Compass:Letters from the East, the West, the North, the South by E.B. White
This book is a collection of correspondence that E. B. White sent to the New Yorker in the late 40s and early 50s. All of his writings were sent from his home, but because its correspondence, he pretends that he is in exotic places. His letters are funny, astute, and educational, but a bit outdated. You might want to brush up on your knowledge of politics from that time, but even if you don't, this is a great read.
