Title: Delicious!
Review: If books were food, this would be a big ol' submarine sandwich, and an absolutely delicious one. Similar to Paul Theroux' "Kingdom By the Sea", it's the story of a man's travels around England, mostly by foot. Some of the descriptions of the places send a shiver through my Anglophile soul - what I wouldn't give to hike through Windsor Park, or seek out Arthur's Cave. Even the descriptions of the crummy hotels and bad weather are delightful. Oh, to have the energy and freedom to go exploring England! Bill Bryson is a lucky man. I think anyone who wants to follow in his footsteps should hurry up and do it before they tear down more of their ancient buildings and hedgerows and replace them with more concrete atrocities. I know what he's talking about. I can't wait to read Bryson's other books, but this one is just so wonderful I'm reading it very, very slowly.
