| | 1. |  | Neither Here Nor There: Travels in Europe
from Corgi Audio
Price: £8.99
Customer Review:
Every so often, flicking through the BBC radio stations, I've hit Kerry Shale or Bill Bryson reading from one of Bill's books. At that point I stop flicking and sit and listen. The furrow disappears from my brow and a smile appears on my face. The smile ratchets up into a grin and from time to time... more info

| | 2. |  | Notes from a Small Island (Audiobook)
from Corgi Audio
Price: £10.49
Customer Review:
An aimless and tedious meander through British life as seen from an outsider's point of view. Some of this book is very funny but it is full of pointless anecdotes and inane drivel. This book is too long and much of it is instantly forgettable. Not good!

| | 3. |  | Journeys in English
from BBC Audiobooks Ltd
Price: £15.19
Customer Review:
This book contains more than you expect. Bill Bryson covers language its self with a focus on English. The book covers speech from a historical view, a physical view, an environmental view, a utilitarian view, and many other views. You will want to play the tape over again as it cruses through many... more info

| | 4. |  | A Walk in the Woods: Abridged
from Corgi Audio
Price: £10.49
Customer Review:
Never start reading a Bill Bryson book in a public place. This is the mistake I made with A Walk in the Woods, and I found myself giggling embarrassingly. Starting with the selection of equipment, and then the preparation for the journey by reading several terror-inducing stories of bear attacks,... more info

| | 5. |  | Giles Wemmbley-Hogg: Goes Off: Series 2 (BBC Audio)
from BBC Audiobooks Ltd
Price: £15.19
Customer Review:
One of lifes joys.... Giles is a wonderful creation. It's something of a mystery why the BBC hasn't released more of Giles' mis-adventures. I think the Germany trip is the highlight of this particular collection, where Giles discovers just how much pork one man can eat.... Highly recommended.

| | 7. |  | Attention All Shipping
from Time Warner AudioBooks
Price: £10.49
Customer Review:
This is a quirky but enjoyable book; Connelly sets himself the challenge of visiting all the areas of the Shipping Forecast that have a land mass within them over a year-long period. In doing so, his experiences are in turn funny, absurd, perceptive and informative. Various tales made me laugh out... more info

| | 8. |  | Round Ireland with a Fridge
from Random House Audiobooks
Price: £9.79
Customer Review:
A travelogue with a difference, or at least a fridge.
Or 'My self absorbed travels around various pubs in Ireland whilst trying to get my leg over'.
Hawks shows virtually no interest in the country he is visiting (he leaves the 'deeply spiritual' place he feels 'honoured' to be visiting to... more info

| | 10. |  | Bill Bryson's African Diary
from Corgi Audio
Price: £6.39
Customer Review:
The phrase short and sweet popped into my mind about this 49 page little book about Bill Bryson's 8 days in Kenya. It is actually a bitter sweet account about the work of the charity organization CARE one of the worlds leading international organizations fighting against poverty. They believe that... more info
