I am about half way into "Thunderbolt Kid" by Bill Bryson. This one is kind of a memoir about his growing up in DeMoine in the 50s. He never disappoints and I am laughing out loud again. Bryson has a way with words that hooks you in. I started with "A Walk in The Woods" then read "I'm A Stranger Here Myself" then "The Sunburned Country". If you haven't read one of his be sure to put it on your list.

Read that one a couple of years ago and thought it was a terrific story, and well told.
