I really enjoyed In a Sunburned Country too, and remember laughing hysterically over his description of Canberra's museum.

I've loved almost everything I've read by Bryson, but I think Down Under (UK) / In a Sunburned Country (US), documenting his travels in Australia, was one of my favourites. But as an Aussie, I may be biased ;) Loved the Dave Barry piece. I've got a pile of his books in a box at home ...

I'm a travel narrative fan. Here are two that I love: In a Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson which is a funny look at his visit to Australia and An Unexpected Light by Jason Elliot which gives a westerner's wonderful insight into Afghanistan and its people.

#161: A Short History of Nearly Everything is probably not where I would go for my next Bryson. You might give In a Sunburned Country, I'm a Stranger Here Myself, or The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid a try.

... on good companion books. I see a new illustrated version of this book was just released as well. On my TBR is In a sunburned country, failure is not an option, stones into schools, and tipping point. Should keep me busy! Andy

... If you like what you're reading so far, you should check out I'm A Stranger Here Myself, Notes From A Small Island, In A Sunburned Country and Neither Here Nor There. They're pretty funny. If you finish A Walk and come away disliking his treatment of the people he came into contact ...

... travel writing - A Walk in the Woods, Neither Here Nor There, Notes from a Big Country, Notes from a Small Island, Down Under, The Lost Continent... have I missed any? I also liked his biography of Shakespeare, considering how little material there is to work with in that endeavour. ...

... romantic that I am. But really, any fiction set in Australia I'll be happy with. I got funny looks too while reading In a Sunburned Country from laughing out loud!

You definitely need to read In a Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson. My children have forbidden me to read his books on public transit or similar venues, since he makes me laugh so hard.

... Travels in Small Town America by Bill Bryson 918- First Comes Love, Then Comes Malaria by Eve Brown-Waite 919- In A Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson 920- Persian Girls by Nahid Rachlin 926- Cheaper by the Dozen by Frank B. Gilbreth Jr. 940- Hiroshima by John He ...

Book 3 - In a Sunburned Country >16 I agree with you on Bryson's humor and observations. I just finished listening to the book, and though I found some parts to get slightly tiresome, especially his preoccupation with poisonous creatures, I overall greatly enjoyed it.

In a Sunburned Country is great too! I read it within the last month because I'm planning a trip to Australia next year, and I found the book really interesting.

I recently read In a Sunburned Country because I'm planning a trip to Australia next year, and it was really interesting--only my second Bryson book, but both have been absolute pleasures to read because of his humor and observations. I hope you enjoy it!

I just LOVE Bryson! Sunburned Country was one of my least favorite, but I can't recommend A Short History of Nearly Everything highly enough. I've listened to the audio twice and read it once. The Thunderbolt Kid is also quite good.

Yea I actually started with In a Sunburned Country and then worked my way through all the rest of his books. My second favorite is A walk in the woods which is great. I also really liked A Short History of Nearly Everything although damn, get ready for a load of info! And Life and Times of a ...

The History of Love by nicole Krauss (cheesy title, but awesome book) In a Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson (funny travel writing about australia) The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafon (gothic, beautiful, haunting, book lover type of story.. i dont really know how to describe it) City ...

Bryson is awesome, and I kind of loathe Dan Brown. I really hope you enjoy In a Sunburned country, it was my favorite of all his books!

Southern Hemisphere The Potato Factory Tommo and Hawk Black Opal The Rainbow and the Rose Solomon's Song In a Sunburned Country Remember Me by Lesley Pearse On the Beach Tim

-- Bryson writes about Australia in Sunburned Country & Appalachian Trail in Walk in the Woods. I borrowed both books from my public library. --

... are the platypus and the echidna, which are only found in Australia in New Guinea. Bill Bryson wrote about them in A Sunburned Country. Great game, everyone. Wonderful, witty guesses that taught me something. I'm looking forward to Calwise's game. A tip for Calwise -- before ...

Down Under by Bill Bryson Corfu by Robert Dessaix The Man from Snowy River by Banjo Paterson To the Manor Drawn by Leslie Ann Bosher The Spare Room by Helen Garner

... in how much complexity I managed to grasp. A true testimonial to the author, I assure you! I'm currently reading Down Under and loving it. My only gripe is the size of the print and I keep daydreaming about a nice big folio type with beautiful binding and no stupid dust jacket to get ...

>4 I'm a big Bill Bryson fan too. I was thinking about that book or In a Sunburned Country.

Include me in the Bill Bryson love fest! His book Down Under (UK) / In a Sunburned Country (US), about his travels in Australia, is great. I currently have his memoirs, The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid, climbing Mt. TBR.

... to read at all. I would recommend it to anyone who loves reading about enduring love. I'm reading Bill Bryson's In A Sunburned Country right now. Very funny!

20. in a Sunburned Country - another enjoyable Bryson book. I place this somewhere between Thunderbolt Kid (my second favorite up to this point) and Neither Here Nor There. I liked this actually MUCH better than the latter book - more humor more distance covered I suppose...and I suppose the ...

... me and tried to assimilate the flow of scientific discovery and his love of what he was talking about. I would recommend In a Sunburned Country or A Walk in the Woods - they are hilarious, have tons of info, but don't overwhelm you with facts except in a fun sort of way.

... It's embarrassing, and I might try again one day when every other book in the house is read ;) Some bits of In a Sunburned Country were really, really funny (I still remember a chapter about Canberra).

Cheli, Before giving up on Bryson, try I'm A Stranger Here Myself or In a Sunburned Country or A Walk in the Woods. The first is his story of returning to the U.S. after years of living in the U.K. The second is his story of traveling in Australia, and the third is about his trek on the A ...

How about Bill Bryson? He's an American who married a Brit and has lived there for many years. My favorite of his is In a Sunburned Country about traveling in Australia. I'm a Stranger Here Myself is his story of returning to the US after many years away, and seeing it through the eyes of a ...

I would think that reading A Sunburned Country during a cold and snowy time is a great idea! :) Good luck with your challenge. --BJ

... to read as much as I liked in 2008 so I'm determined to do more this year. Right now I'm starting with these books. - A Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson - Suits Me by Diane Wood Middlebrook - Buffalo Gals by Ursula LeGuin It is really cool that this group is here! Happy reading!

Bill Bryson fans.. read In a Sunburned Country immediately! It was my favorite out of all of his books :)

... really enjoying this one. #130 yosarian - if you haven't read any of Bill Bryson's travel books, I'd recommend In a Sunburned Country and, although it's not travel exactly it's still about traveling the Appalachian Trail, A Walk in the Woods. Both are hilarious and very ...

... that before borrowing The Ice Child from the library. Lovely, Tim. On the other hand it thought I wouldn't like In a Sunburned Country, either. But it thinks I will like both the ones I have started now, so I'm ahead of the game, I think.

I was trying to read Ice Child, but couldn't get into it. Then I picked up In a Sunburned Country because my son had it in the car. That got finished quickly. Now I'm working on Emma and a very funny book I picked up in the zoology section of the library; Dr. Tatiana's Sex advice to all C ...

47. Down Under by Bill Bryson. A reread. I got sick of a couple that are taking some getting through, so I read this instead. I have a week to finish 3 more books!!

Glad to see other people enjoy Bill Bryson as much as I do. I just wish he'd get more books written!! In A Sunburned Country was also published as Down Under - the one I have has that title - when I realized In A Sunburned Country was the same book, I was disappointed - I thought I had ...

... nightmares, don't read it at dark or you will be looking over your shoulder for the ironclad knight. Trust me. :) #60: In a Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson Bill Bryson is at his hilarious best when he writes travel memoirs, and this is, in my opinion, one of his funniest. This is the kind ...

... Plague of Doves by Louise Erdrich Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill Don't Turn Out the Light - an anthology of horror A Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K. Rowling and I'm also a couple of pages into Toward the End of Time by John Updike

... and outdoor skills than any five other books could have taught me. And I had fun learning. 17. I then went on to In a Sunburned Country, his story of crossing Australia. My husband and I were planning a trip to Australia in 2009 (note the word WERE--stock market kinda knocked that ...

If she likes nonfiction, I'd recommend Bill Bryson - particularly In A Sunburned Country or The Mother Tongue. I always love reading Rita Mae Brown's Six of One when I'm down - it's so full of life and fun and I usually laugh out loud. Good luck to her...

I can second the recommendation for Stiff, it was a fabulous read! In a Sunburned Country is on my TBR too- I'm not sure if I'll get to it in 09, though.

I finished In a Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson this past week, which was #6 on my list. It is the first book by Bill Bryson I have read and enjoyed it. As a person who loves to travel but does not have much money and time for it, it was good to be an "armchair traveller" to Australia by ...

... into the story quicker. Now to start my July ER book, Dawning of the Day: A Jerusalem Tale. I'm still listening to In a Sunburned Country, which is fantastic. I've already laughed out loud in the car and I must have looked pretty silly laughing with no one else in the car with me!

Finished In a Sunburned Country. Wonderful. I particularly like listening him read his own stuff - he is an American but has lived in England for most of his adult life. It comes out in his phrasing and even accent sometimes. I started City of Masks by Daniel Hecht. I really don't ...

Sweet Caroline, I'm glad I'm not the only one! 35. In A Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson. An entertaining travelogue read by the author. Makes me feel like I know less about it Australia than ever - and want to visit even more than before I read it.

... Dorsai! by Gordon Dickson (hard to believe that I've left this science fiction classic series til this late in life) and In a Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson (prompted by finishing his A Walk in the Woods and The Cactus Eaters by Dan White).

I just brought home two audio books from the library: In a Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson and Dispatches from the Edge by Anderson Cooper I started the Bryson already, and can tell I'm going to love it.

#20 karenmarie - Great minds think alike, I just picked up In a Sunburned Country from the library today. I started listening to it on the drive home and already can tell I will like it. I haven't read any of Bryson before, but have only heard very good things. I have A Short History of N ...

The only thing I remember about In a Sunburned Country was the jokes. You know the ones, the one about the widower alone at the football game and the one about the 7-year old helping the contractors next door. Hilarious, but no spoilers here. I'll leave it like that.

I love Bill Bryson and so got In a Sunburned Country at the library today. I've already read it, but am enjoying listening him read his own stuff.

I got Down Under by Bill Bryson through Bookmooch yesterday.

... informative. Anybody who hasn't read Bill Bryson should check him out. Everything I've read by him is good, although In a Sunburned Country, Shakespeare: The World as Stage, and Mother Tongue are my favorites. I'm now listening to The Girl in Hyacinth Blue by Susan Vreeland. ...

... to be especially fascinating. I have never read it, and therefore missed some very obvious allusions to it in HDM. 31. In a Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson On the lighter side...Bryson travelled extensively in Australia before writing this book. It had its laugh-out-loud parts, but I ...

>303 Haven't checked it, and as usual it's years since I read it, but it sounds exactly like his style: is it In a sunburned country?

#86, actually In a Sunburned Country is a very popular Mooch book. It's okay as Bryson's work goes; less acerbic than some. I really enjoyed it but I too have always been surprised at how many people have actually read it. His book on walking the Appalachian trail is often mooched too.

... not like I am in need of an addition to the mountain. I just had someone mooch Vroom with a view, and a few days ago In A sunburned country. I don't know why, but I'd expected they'd both sit in my mooch pile forever. I think the most unlikely to be mooched from mine are by former Ne ...

... just reminded me, I have read one other book about Australia (not that I can now remember much about it). I know it's not In a Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson. How about Mutant Message Down Under by Marlo Morgan?

29. In a Sunburned Country ... by Bill Bryson A great travel story relating Bryson's sojourn in Australia. It was very humorous and Bryson tells amazing stories about innumerable mysteries in that country. Not the least of these mysteries concerns the politics of Australia. There are great ...

wow that is the hardest question ever... I think In a Sunburned Country and A walk in the woods by Bill Bryson because it always makes me laugh, anything by Irving Stone (The Agony and the ecstasy, Lust for Life etc) because everything i've read has been great (but i'm an art student ...

... It's short and sweet and soooooo Bryson-ish. On consideration, I think that I prefer his non-travelogue books, although In a Sunburned Country was hilarious.

... But for more grown-up laughs I like Guards Guards, Small Gods or Witches Abroad by Terry Pratchett. Bill Bryson's Down Under and Notes from a Small Island are also good for a laugh (I love the bits where he is attacked by dogs and suffering jet lag).

#44, Vonni, with bryson it really depends on which book you read. A walk in the woods and In a sunburned country (also known as 'Down Under' sometimes) are his best ones. In a sunburned country is my favorite, its funny and smart and a lot of fun to read. After i read those i went on and read ...

... being "OMG Wow" but I enjoyed these three: The Crystal Cave by Mary Stewart M is for Magic by Neil Gaiman In Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson

I agree. In a Sunburned Country (or Down Under if you live where the book was published under its English title) is a hilarious and interesting book. Bill Bryson's A Walk in the Woods is also very funny!

... an astronomer. He was the renaissance man for his time. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series. 10. In a Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson **** Bryson seems to have had wonderful adventures in Oz. He pokes fun of many things Australian but also of his own reactions ...

In a Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson, made me laugh out loud. :)

#76 - Bill Bryson hates it... see his book Down under, also published as In a sunburned country. (wow, I'm actually mentioning a book in this thread!) #77 - I never saw the cows! Wow... I don't think it is Dickson though, unless they're very new - I used to spend a lot of time in Di ...

I've finished off In a Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson and thinking I'd like to get a hold of A Walk in the Woods. Also finished off M is for Magic by Neil Gaimain which I quite liked as well. Stilll working on The Stand by Stephen King and I'm almost finished The Crystal C ...
