After spending years over on this side of the pond, Bill Bryson has gone back to merry old England and got himself appointed to some committee to preserve something out in the rural parts of somewhere.
I just hope the new job doesn’t keep him from putting pen to paper. Hmmmm, maybe this is just research and his next book will be an expose on the inner workings of small town British city councils! ooooo! ahhhhh! You may think that lame, but Bryson could make it funny.
My mom gave me “Notes from a Small Island” over the holidays. An excellent read that reminded me of Harry Pearson’s “Tall Man in a Low Land” and Douglas Adams’ “Last Chance to See.”
