The store where I bought ‘Woods’ had a whole shelf of Bryson — and I’m pretty sure the title you mention was one of them. I’ll probably grab a few of them when I return. You are right, his style is very fun and flows beautifully.

I love Walking in the Woods. It led me to several other Bryson books, one being I’m a Stranger Here Myself where he takes a road trip around the U.S. Such easy, fun reading. Makes you want to hit the road. I wondered about Drood when I saw it in the bookstore. I will have to pick it up now. Thanks.

Same thing happened to me — it’s not Dickens’s best by any means. You’ll be glad you read it when you dip into Simmons, though.

So glad you liked Drood. I kind of got stuck on the Dickens’ book Drood…trouble getting through it. I’ve been waiting to finish that before starting the Dan Simmons book. Well, got get back on the horse!
