“Amazing Adventures of a Nobody” ($14.95, Bettie Youngs Books) was written by the indefatigable Leon Logothetis, a Brit whose Fox TV show last season followed him as he traipsed across the United States with nothing but a set of clothes and the stipulation that he could spend $5 a day. He went from Times Square to Hollywood, relying on the kindness of strangers, and his story is honest and amusing. There are no profound surprises: Sometimes people are incredibly generous and kind, sharing their homes, lives and innermost thoughts, and sometimes they are nutty, stupid and cruel. In other words, American. Kyle Wagner
