Any Bill Bryson readers?

He writes nonfiction, humorous, mostly travel books. The first Bryson book I read was "A Walk in the Country," about his thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail w/a lazy, overweight friend. As a hiker & a lover of humor, I loved it. Also liked "I'm a Stranger Here Myself," about his moving back to the U.S. after many years of living in the UK. But I tried "In a Sunburned Country," and it had too much description & too much history for me. Same with "The Lost Continent," which I put down for good yesterday. It was about a cross-country road trip he took in the U.S. before he moved back here.
Has anybody else read him? Do you like his books?

I thought I';d read an Aust one but that title rang no bells. I read "Down Under" & loved it. Hmm I suppose it might have a different name in different countries, although I think he has come here a lot. Jeepers I thought I'd read that "recenmtly" but it was in June 2004!! (Where DOES time go??) Goodness I thought I had read a few of his books but it looks like I've only read that one!
