1.The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid: A MemoirThe Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid: A Memoir
from Broadway
Price: $6.43

Customer Review:
I was also born in Des Moines although a few years earlier (1946) so this book was a treasure to me. In fact, I recently reconnected with my childhood best friend who gave me the book when I visited her in Des Moines after losing track of each other for over 20 years. It's been sitting on a shelf... more info

2.A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian TrailA Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail
from Anchor
Price: $4.28

Customer Review:
Of all the books I have read in the last year, Bryson's "A Walk In The Woods", is by far the most amusing and captivating.
It was a referral from my sister, who, as an avid hiker, read the novel and insisted I share the time with her. I have laughed, and been angered, been surprised, and... more info

3.Shakespeare The World as StageShakespeare The World as Stage

Customer Review:
this book is well written with fascinating historical facts, as always, by Bill Bryson. I just love the humor and quirky information he uses in this look at the Bard. I had no idea that Shakespeare created so many of the words we use today. Amazing! I had read this a year ago and wanted a copy for... more info

4.I m a Stranger Here Myself: Notes on Returning to America After 20 Years AwayI'm a Stranger Here Myself: Notes on Returning to America After 20 Years Away
from Broadway
Price: $4.24

Customer Review:
I'm a huge fan of travel writing and love to live vicariously through other travelers' writing. This book is slightly different from his other works in terms of the subject. In this book, instead of writing about strange lands and travel, he shares what seems like minute observations that he made... more info

5.Bill Bryson s African DiaryBill Bryson's African Diary
from Broadway
Price: $5.89

Customer Review:
This slim volume contains Bill Bryson's wit and
sense of humanity. I know few other writers who
can capture a sense of place as well as he can,
and his humor is matchless. My only disappoint-
ment was the fact that the book was, basically,
a short piece of travel... more info

6.In a Sunburned CountryIn a Sunburned Country
from Broadway
Price: $5.39

Customer Review:
Bill Bryson has done it again.
Not only an amusing frolic around and in Australia, but also a very insightful historical dabble into this somewhat "forgotten" continent.
Bryson travels by train and car digging up meaningful and significant events from years gone by to present times.... more info

Customer Review:
Across Europe, from Brussels to Bulgaria, Bill Bryson takes us up alleyways, into coffee shops with indifferent waitstaff, into overpriced museums, across ancient bridges and onto crowded buses through death-defying mountain passes, into magnficent town squares and finally, repairing, into various... more info

8.Bryson s Dictionary of Troublesome Words: A Writer s Guide to Getting It RightBryson's Dictionary of Troublesome Words: A Writer's Guide to Getting It Right
from Broadway
Price: $7.17

Customer Review:
I got this book at the advice of my English professor. It has proven to be an excellent reference. I found out I was making some of the everyday mistakes in my writing that Bill Bryson points out. He injects humor throughout, but it is aboe all a handy reference book.

9.Notes from a Small IslandNotes from a Small Island
from Harper Perennial
Price: $4.89

Customer Review:
Though I had never read anything by the prolific Bill Bryson, this book seemed a good fit for me given my Anglophile tendencies and I anxiously began as soon as it arrived. A Midwesterner by birth, Bryson spent twenty years living in Britain before deciding to repatriate to the United States with... more info

10.A Short History of Nearly EverythingA Short History of Nearly Everything
from Broadway
Price: $9.82

Customer Review:
Bryson's sparkling style cinches this as one of my top 10 books ever. It seems some scientific types are upset that Bryson delves into the lives of scientists making discoveries more than the discoveries themselves. This is his brilliance! If I want to learn everything there is to know about any... more info
