I always look forward to Bill Bryson’s next book. He’s entertaining and educational. Many of his books I’ve read multiple times and walk away each time having learned something new while laughing. Most consider his best to be A Walk In The Woods (the book not the lame movie). I however favor A Sunburnt Country, about Australia, though The Lightning Bolt Kid was awesome. Actually I can’t name one I don’t consider worth multiple reads. So I snatched up his latest the week it was released. The Road To Dribbling is him revisiting the places of his book Notes From A Small Island. I looked forward to seeing how Bryson fared moving back to Great Britain and visiting places twenty years later. Would he prove what Thomas Wolf did in Look Homeward Angel that you can’t go back, or is England timeless and 20 years didn’t make that much of a difference? (more…)
