Bill Bryson book

Just finished reading this latest Bill Bryson book.

A follow up to 'Notes from a small island'. He is definitely much grumpier now, interesting and as usual amusing to read his views on modern life in Britain.

What troubles me is that I agree with everything he says.

An excellent read as are all his books for anyone not familiar.

Thanks. That is now added to my list of things to read. I do like his books. Anyone who hasn't read them they are well worth reading especially "A brief history of nearly everything"

Still trying to find a publisher for my botanical treatise - "A Brief History of Thyme".

I have a lot of time for Bryson - he sees things that we don't appreciate about our own island.

I must also say I agree with practically everything he says so hilariously. The first book was funny,as was "A complete etc " in places (a great book ) but this one is hilarious and so true. My only complaint is I bought it as soon as published and then got two more for Christmas , one along with "Kolymsky Heights" , probably the best thriller ever written (not just my opinion.) I 've owned KH 4 times. Every time I loan it it never comes back. I just buy another.

i rarely re read books but I must have read the first 50 pages and the last 50 or so pages 20 times. The middle ain't bad either. If I have trouble getting off to sleep I often get up , get KH and read until sleep hits me.
