Never read it. I was put onto Bryson by a BBC-tv programme that
matched readings from "Notes From A Small Island" with images of
areas he visits in it, particularly Dover: his eerie experience,
trying to find accomodation, which rang so true (for the times).

FWIW, BB now lives somewhere within fifty miles or so of me. He
has a Brit wife, remember. The lad must be going native by now.
