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

NEITHER HERE NOR THERE - Bill Bryson
Sub titled travels in Europe. The only trouble with this is Bryson has spread himself a bit thin trying to cover too much ground rather than pick three or five countries and give them a really good going over.
Instead he does twenty two countries or cities and they really only get a couple of pages each which is a shame because he goes very interesting places.
Still lots of humour but a bit bare on the facts/ history side of things which he is normally so good at slipping in along the journey.
