It might be time, then, to introduce his work to the blog, and thanks to a birthday present from my long-suffering wife (which is a Bryson reference in itself…), I have the perfect excuse. Now, that may not seem much of a surprise given my preference for fiction in translation, but I used to be a big fan of his books, and my collection is pushing double figures. ![]() I was browsing my old posts the other day (as you do…) when I discovered that in the eight years I’ve been blogging I’ve never reviewed a Bill Bryson book. ![]()
