1. Neither Here nor There: Travels in Europe Neither Here nor There: Travels in Europe
from Harper Perennial
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
PROS:
- Bryson's writing style is fluid and funny.
- Good coverage of Western Europe: 19 out of 22 chapters are on it.
CONS:
- The subtitle of the book is, "Travels in Europe", but it should have been called "Travels in Western Europe" since that's where 90% of the book... more info

2. In a Sunburned Country In a Sunburned Country
from Broadway
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
I read this book right before a trip to Australia, finished on the first leg of the flight. The whole time traveling around the country (great place by the way), I found myself seeing and hearing things right off the pages. My wife got so tired of listening to my chuckle and me trying to explain... more info

3. The Lost Continent: Travels in Small-Town America The Lost Continent: Travels in Small-Town America
from Harper Perennial
Price: $13.18

Customer Review:
I am a fan of Bill Bryson. I simply loved his Short History of Nearly Everything and In a Sunburned Country. Just awesome stuff. Reread both several times. I liked several other of his travel books, as well.
But this...this is just...bad. I mean seriously bad. He makes fun of darned near... more info

4. A Short History of Nearly Everything A Short History of Nearly Everything
from Broadway
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:
This is an excellent book and is very entertaining to read. It starts by explaining the beginning of time (big bang), and then goes chronologically from there explaining pretty much every aspect of the history of the universe and the Earth.
Of course to fit this all into 400 pages Bryson has to... more info

5. Notes from a Small Island Notes from a Small Island
from Harper Perennial
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
Judging from his best-seller about Australia, In a Sunburned Country, you can expect Bryson to be a witty but irreverent surveyor of the tourist scene wherever he goes. In this case, having lived and worked in Britain for about 20 years, he decides to return to his native USA but not without first... more info

6. Made in America Made in America
from Harper Perennial
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
Pardon me while I whine a bit, but the reviewers who complain that the book lacks scholarship and similar pedantic complaints have missed the point. Bill Bryson is a writer, a storyteller, and man of wide interests who can churn out charming, remarkably well researched books at a satisfying rate.... more info

7. The Mother Tongue The Mother Tongue
from Harper Perennial
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
Bryson takes you through the linguistic and historical journey of English in a wonderfully informal, comedic, anecdotal, and fact-based way. I'm a high school English teacher and I'm having my juniors and seniors read it for class--they love it!! He reaches a wide array of audiences, trust me,... more info

8. A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail
from Anchor
Price: $7.99

Customer Review:
The humor of Bryson's book, an account of an unathletic amateur attempting to hike the AT, is a welcome relief from the clannishness and superiority that distinguishes the modern cults of extreme athletic performance (and much of modern athletic writing). Some of the critics of Bryson's book have... more info

Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
Having fell in love with the audio version of Bryson's The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid, I decided to give A Walk in the Woods a try. This audio is also read by the author.

10. Bill Bryson s African Diary Bill Bryson's African Diary
from Broadway
Price: $9.41

Customer Review:
Bill Bryson is the funniest travel writer working today, I believe, and even when he takes on what is an unpleasant task - visiting one of the most depressed areas of the world in order to raise funds for CARE, he does it in a hilarious way.
In this short little book, Bryson not only shares... more info
