	cedarwaxwing		Bryson's humor	0	Oct 19 2007, 8:39 PM EDT by cedarwaxwing
			Thread started: Oct 19 2007, 8:39 PM EDT Watch As much as I enjoyed Bryson's humor when I read Notes from a Small Island, I got tired of it after a couple of chapters. I wonder if it was just that book (I happen to be a reformed closet Anglophile) or if I'd have the same reaction to his others. We own The Mother Tongue: English and How It Got That Way and A Short History of Nearly Everything. Should I give him another go? 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you?

			Thread started: Jul 23 2007, 3:16 PM EDT Watch I read A Walk in the Woods first and laughed until I cried. When people ask for a good book, I send them to Bryson with a recount of an early scene when his travelling partner has "flung" everything heavy from his pack, including the coffee filters! I love that image! I have also read Sunburned Country and have visited a few of the places he mentioned. I must go back to visit the others -- but I a wary of the reef now! 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you? Keyword tags: None Post reply
