summary of "Enough Already''

The article ''Enough already" by Bill Bryson is in the book I'm a stranger here myself.
the point of the article is to show the readers how we have too many varieties of everything.
Bryson mentions how we have too many choices and we take too much time picking one because there is on flavor after another and you just get distracted about what you really wanted to get in the first place. he is trying to say we need to be simple and stick to one thing. he talks about how when he was in the airport and he asked for a plain coffee but the guy who is selling them starts naming all of these different types of coffees. he says we don't need to have this many choices but we really don't need them. even being the smallest things we have too many varieties of it which Bryson says is unnecessary but his wife and children love. he says in time they will grow tired of this and want nothing but simple and sadly there is no sign of it happening now

  2. i agree with the point bryson is trying to make on how we have too many of the same things becouse i think we have to many choices on the same thing. its like you are trying to find one simple thing and when you see all of these different varieties of it you kinda get confused and distracted and it takes along time to choose becouse you dont know which one is better then the other. for example when you go to the store and try to get a piece of gum and suddently you see all of these different flavors but you dont know which one you want to get. thats when you get confused and i think a gum is just gum as long as you can chew on it.
