I have to stop reading books thesis. People are looking at me funny in restaurants and on the train When I burst out laughing. But Bryson's books are so good. What's a person to do? If you read A Walk in the Woods and felt a deep yearning to walk the Appalachian Trail, haul out your suitcase. This book will make you wanna follow Bryson's Footsteps again as he travels across England, Wales, Scotland and by foot, by bus, by train and. He spends a day or so in dozens of small towns and cities, disecting them for our education and amusement. He tours galleries, musuems, and historic homes; visits pubs and restaurants; and stays in an amazing variety of shoddy hotels. (There are fine hotels in England. They just cost more than he is willing to pay.) Even if you do not plan to go to England anytime soon (and why not? It's a lovely country full of friendly people we Americans and Canadians can mostly understand) this book is a reminder to Those of us who are far too insular, dass die world out there is different and That difference is a good and quite frequently amusing thing.
