If possible, I'm even more excited for the latest book from the author who is quite probably my all-time favorite, Bill Bryson. I just read today on The Bookseller that Bryson is publishing his first travel book in 15 years! Entitled The Road to Little Dribbling: More Notes from a Small Island, Bryson's latest will be another take on his travels around his adopted homeland of Britain. I'm especially thrilled to hear this because Notes from a Small Island, Bryson's first travel book on Britain, was the first of his books that I read and began my infatuation with Bryson's witty, informative, and wonderful works. I'll be waiting with great impatience for autumn to roll around so I can get my hands on this one!
If you haven't read anything by these authors before, the Media Center owns The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America (National Book Award finalist and Edgar Award winner) and Thunderstruck by Erik Larson. We also have the following Bill Bryson titles: Notes from a Small Island, A Walk in the Woods (recently adapted into a Sundance film), The Mother Tongue, and Made in America. I can't recommend them enough!
