I love Bryson. Notes From a Big Country is pretty good too. I haven't read a book of his I haven't liked, even the one on language, Mother Tongue I think it was.

Ya he's great. You should read 'A Short History of Nearly Everything'..its simultaneously very funny and educational. His recent commentary on the elections in the Times was purdy fab too.

If you haven't already read it I always recomment Slaughterhouse 5 by Kurt Vonnegut......in fact anything by him(save Bagumbo Snuff Box) is good.

I just started the Dave Eggers.the first chapter hits hard after the preface etc but i guess thats the intention.

Slaughterhouse 5 is indeed a deadly book but the best thing i've read in ages is White Noise by Don Delillo.

am currently reading The Men Who Stare at Goats.

So far it's equal parts funny, weird and depressing.

I am currently reading chuck palahniuk's diary. Am enjoying it a lot. Just finished a buke called waxwings by jonathon raban which was also v enjoyable. Ah the books.
