A list of books I've read recently with some occasional gibberish thrown in.

MADE IN AMERICA- Bill Bryson
In Made in America, Bryson de-mythologizes his native land- explaining how a dusty desert hamlet with neither woods or holly became Hollywood, how the Wild West wasn't won......as well as exposing the true origins of the G String, the original $64,000 question and Dr Kellogg of cornflakes fame.
As always great entertainment, the history of lots of words and places and his usual digressions. Fantastic.
