Notes from a Small Island

Sue put me on to Bill Bryson’s work and I’m glad she did. He cracks me up.
This book chronicles seven weeks touring England by rail and by foot. It is not a reverent tour, though when he does enjoy something he will gush. Mostly he’s poking fun, often at himeself, in a cheeky manner. The set up for his stories does have a predictable rhythm, two steps to the left, one to the right, a delicate pause and then zing with the zinger. Still, it’s a very fun read, plenty of laughs-out-loud.
