... a walk in the woods? I loved the book and have read if a few times now. Laughed so much I hurt while reading it. Just wondering if others felt the same

Sorry I meant


Bill Bryson


If you check out Goodwill etc you might find some of his audio books..... His book about Australia (In a Sunburned Country) made the miles go faster on our trip out west least summer...

I have that book as well as his travels thru England book. What's hard for me is when he goes off on all his facts. That's were the Australian book lost me. He arrived to the far end of Australia and it was only the first quarter of the book thru. I thought he should of spent more detail in the out back etc. I have gotten any further.

Audio version much easier to take on the road. It would be very tedious to that.... One point he made with me is there are just a whole bunch of things waiting to kill you in Austrailia....

Read it and listened to it on Audio Books. They used plenty of F Bombs so that it is too bad I can't let kids read or listen too it.


Bryce has a lot of good reads....

I know what you mean about the f word. Too bad, but if you look past that it's so funny. It's my go to book
