Bill Bryson
Bush Tucker Man:
Whilst replying to a post eleswhere, I found this wonderful little self-depracting take on his auto-biography :lol:
It's a good book & a real take on growing up in 1950's America
Well worth reading..................... as is 'A Short History Of Nearly Everything'
(but the funniest book must be 'Notes From A Small Island', all about our eccentricities)
official web-site
There, that's BTMs recommendation of the week :wink:
Cate:
Bill Bryson provides a great read, notes from a small Island was brilliant.
Bush Tucker Man:
--- Quote from: "Cate" ---notes from a small Island was brilliant.

Especially the opening paragraphs of a chapter, concerning the English giving road directions :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
"Turn left by the 2nd Grit-Bin on the right", etc......... :lol: :lol: :lol:
