Winter Walking

  Hi book folks.  It's Turkey week and the start of the Holidays.  I'm grateful for so many things including all the book contributions we continue to see in the Library Box.  This week alone saw twenty new books.  Count 'em Twenty new books!  Way cool.  Beyond way cool one of my favorite comedic writers showed up:  Bill Bryson.  Who ever picked up Wild, or anyone who enjoys a tale of misadventure... there's a gem in the form of Bryson's A Walk in the Woods.

  Bryson is just drop dead, English dry humor infused, satisfyingly funny writing.  He's also a walker which is close to my heart as well.  The difference between Bryson and someone like Paul Salopek is that Bryson is more about the people and culture while someone like Salopek is quite the serious athlete/scholar.  Bryson is fun, Salopek is seven years serious about his Stroll Around the World.  Both are worthy reads for the winter ahead.

Thanks again neighbors!
