I’ve just finished listening to Bram Stoker’s Dracula on Audible, very much looking forward to this one!
I’ve just listened to chapter one on audible… absolutely hysterical 
I remember Bill Bryson being funny having read some of his books years ago but I’d forgotten how funny…a real tonic!

I loved this one too. Borrowed the audiobook from the library back when they were on cassettes. I’ve enjoyed Bill Bryson’s works.

I have a big collection of audio books and a site I also download them from. At the moment it’s light reading and I’m wading through Simon Brett’s Feathering Mysteries.
When I was working, I was often required to drive long distances and I used to have a small stack of audio books on my Ipod (later phone) and used to go through them quite regularly.
These days, I’m not working and hardly driving and seemed to have given over to reading my kindle.
I’m listening to this on audible at the moment, absolutely hysterical!!
I’ve never been a great fan of David Mitchell but I’d highly recommend this volume.
A refreshing and witty slant on our history!

I’m really getting stuck into this one!
Mike Carter is a journo who almost impulsively decided to escape from London and cycle around the coast at the age of forty five.
A very engaging, funny and inspiring listen.
He really is a bit of an English Bill Bryson.
I’m planning on getting a new mountain bike quite soon but I’ll not be venturing further than Sussex… for the time being

This one’s been languishing in my audible library for some time now…
You simply can’t go wrong with a Bill Bryson book in my opinion. I read this in paperback some years ago but I’ll be cracking on with the audible version over the weekend

I’ll be interested to hear how it goes. I love Bill Bryson audiobooks. My favorite was A Walk in the Woods. If you say it’s good, I might give this one a go. I just checked. It’s in my online library. I just borrowed it in case.

Well, as an Englishman I found it both funny and quite adventurous as far as his experiences in some of the towns in the deep south went, vaguely reminded me of Deliverance. But I read the book some years back now so perhaps my memory is just a tad hazy 
A Walk In The Woods is superb… not that I’m going to get anywhere near the Appalachian Trail…alas!
