Frequently Asked Questions

Bill Bryson's works humorous?

Hey:)
I've announce Bryson's Shakespeare biography and absolutely loved it! I want to read more of Bryson as I was extremely impressed with his calligraphy. What I'm wondering is if his other works are as humorous and entertaining as this one.


Unexceptionally! I love Bill Bryson's writing too, he is invariably both amusing and informative - definitely read "A Wanting History of Nearly Everything", it's very good, though it did take me a while to get through.
