.The Call of the Weird: Travels in American Subcultures
City Travel Guides > Books > Atlases and Maps
by: Louis Theroux

July 07, 2006
There are some great features to Amazon: competitive prices, the chance to browse for a vast selection of books at any hour of the day, generally good service. Here is a bad thing: judging a book by its cover (or the reputation of the author). I bought this because I have enjoyed some of Theroux's TV programmes and it sounded a bit different.

Theroux's plan is to revisit subjects he had met during the making of a TV series on weird Americans and see how they have changed in the intervening few years. The problem is that it doesn't quite work and I think Theroux realises that quite quickly. The writing is engaging and honest but it's partly a story of tracking the people down and partly a story about what they said when he found ... Read More:

.The Lost Continent: Travels in Small Town America
City Travel Guides > Books > Atlases and Maps
by: Bill Bryson

January 02, 1999
I think you either dig Bryson or you don't. This was the second book of his I read (first was Neither Here nor There). A year or so after I read the book I got this (on tape) to hear on holiday, and began listening in the departure lounge at LHR. Basically my wife had to virtually throw a fire-bucket over me since I was apparently making a spectacle of myself. Kerry Shale's rapid-fire delivery really makes this a great (if exhausting) listen. Even though I've heard it many times (and have attempted to mimic parts of it to friends a thousand times) I still don't get tired of hearing it. If the weather's crap and there's nothing on TV this is hard to beat for sheer pants-wettingly funny listening. The best bits are Kerry Shale's take on the Southern ... Read More:

.Go Slow England
City Travel Guides > Books > Atlases and Maps
by: Alastair Sawday

March 06, 2008
This is just the sort of guidebook I've been waiting for. Packed full of places to stay and places to visit, inspired by 'good food and artisan producers.... craftmanship and community, landscape and history'. The book is divided into geographical regions with useful maps so that you can plan your time (or dip in and out as you wish). As with all Sawday guides, the places reviewed have a thorough write up. Stunning photos are sprinkled through the book..... A book to curl up with and plan your slow adventures. Just gorgeous!

if you are interested in imaging, forget it. there is no info on what the variouse targets can look like when photographed, only how to find them. a companion book on how too image and what to use is recomended.

.Notes from a Big Country
City Travel Guides > Books > Atlases and Maps
by: Bill Bryson

September 16, 1999
This is guaranteed to put a smile on virtually anyone's face.

Bryson's dry humour & witty observations of life's absurdity coupled with Kerry Shale's excellent delivery make this an easy winner.

The basic material is also very interesting so a wining combination all round.

I had this in the car & found myself sitting listening to it long after I had arrived at my destination - it's that good!
