Then go on a road trip. You'll read lots. Here is a list of what I've flipped through so far:
DelCorso's Gallery
Late Nights on Air
Dreams from my Father
Choke

How was "How did the States get their shapes?"? I've spent quite some time complaining about the apparent arbitrariness of the shapes of a lot of the states. Idaho - what is that?
Oh man, what a book. Lemme tell you, nothing is as arbitrary as it seems when it comes to state borders.
Almost every border is there for a reason, and a lot of the time was the result of an angry and protracted dispute.
I learned that any borders that don't make much sense, in the east anyways, can be blamed on a British inability to correctly identify lines of latitude.
Here's something partially related to your post. Look at these results from the election:

For the trip home, might we recommend:
William S. Burroughs, Leaving Las Vegas - or -
H.W. Nevinson, Farewell to America
- or -
"Welcome Home" in Barbara Smith's Canadian Ghost Stories
Choke's not really Palahniuk's best in my opinion. Invisible Monster is better by far.
I miss you.
we have so much to talk about.
