Buy Motel of the Mysteries from Amazon

Rating: 4 out of 5

Author: David Macaulay

Ever wonder how much archeologists really know about the artifacts they dig up? What if they dug up our remains in the year 4022? Howard Carson discovers a buried motel with all the contents untouched. This could be the key to the burial rites of the ancient Yanks!

Here's an absolutely hilarious book. Carson couldn't be more wrong about any of his ideas about the things he finds, but he doesn't know that. You'll be rolling on the floor by the time you finish reading this book!
