Does anyone else enjoy books by Bill Bryson? I am currently reading 'Made in America'.

Some of the information in this book could be useful for answering questions on FunTrivia!

Sue, I'm not familiar with this one. Can you describe it for us?

I love Bill Bryson! I sat on a train reading Notes from a Small Island and got such funny looks 'cos I kept on cracking up with laughter - especially when he got to Weston-super-Mare (the town nearest where I'm currently living) - it was soooo spot on.

Made in America is a history of the American language Shuttlebunny. A bit dull in places, but still has enough vintage Brysonisms to keep your interest for most of the time.
