Read this!
When I find a good book, I want to share it with everybody.
In a Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson. I like his writing and especially his humor, and this book has me laughing out loud. Its a few years old and maybe many have read it, but if you haven't, give it a try. Let us know if you laugh out loud. |

No plot. He goes to Australia. Views the country, the people, the history, some of the local insanity.

Re: Read this!
I was in a bookstore the other day and for some reason remembered seeing the recommendation here for "In a Sunburned Country" so I bought it.
My husband is reading it now and to answer the question in the original post -- Yes, he is laughing out loud. He also now thinks that we need to go to Australia. This may just be the most expensive book I have ever bought.
