I feel exactly the same about this book and A Walk in the Woods – although the latter is my all-time favorite, I really enjoyed Sunburned Country. The man actually got me interested in Australia, something no one had managed to do before.

The only book I have not enjoyed by Bryson is Thunderbolt Kid; I just couldn’t get into it.

I still haven’t read a Bryson book even though I have quite a few of them. I’m really hoping to fix that this year.

Oh, that is so affirming to hear that someone started reading a book because of my recommendation. It always makes me smile.

I haven’t read Notes From a Small Island, but you can bet it’s on the list!

I love Bill Bryson’s travel books, and you and Jenners are right. It is about time he did another one!

I read A Walk in the Woods earlier this year and promptly put every single Bryson book on my TBR list. It is tied for first of my favourite books of the year. You are absolutely correct that Non-fiction can be fun. Thanks for reminding me I want to read more.

I love Bryson. I adored A Walk in the Woods. I also enjoyed Notes from a Small Island and after I read an earlier post by you, I decided to start this one. I really like it so far. I’m glad you recommended it and it helped you trough the holidays:)

I just loved this book! And most of Bill Bryson’s books, as well!

Make the leap, Kim! It’s so worth it. One thing to know: It always takes me longer to read Bryson than I expect to, because even though it is horribly entertaining, there’s also a lot of information to absorb, and you want to read every word of his great stories. Can’t wait to hear about your first adventure with him soon.

Yes! I’d love for him to go to Asia. That would be great. A big, burly white man wandering through Tokyo.
