So I just finished reading two books by Bill Bryson. The first being A Walk in the Woods, and The Lost Continent travels in small town America. Both wrote by Bryson. I love his style of reading and topics. So if you have read these books what else have you found amusing?

Thanks, Josh

I read A Walk in the Woods a few years ago.

Maybe, Blue Highways by William Least Heat-Moon, A Life on the Road by Charles Kuralt, Real Ponies Don't Go Oink by Pat McManus, or one of Bryson's other books.

I recently read Notes from a Small Island by him, which you may already know is about the UK. I can only assume that it'll be in a similar style to the second one at least, and you'll learn a lot about the UK!

His childhood biography is hilarious as well - The Thunderbolt Kid. You should definitely read that.

Bill Bryson has at least 6 other books you could read plus his book on science and books on language. They are all very good, funny and entertaining. Sex Lives of Cannibals by Troost is also very funny.
