Nothing is more entertaining than Bill Bryson on the road-and on a tear. With his matchless instinct for the funniest and quirkiest and his unerring eye for the idiotic, the bewildering, the appealing, and the ridiculous, he offers acute and perceptive insights into all that is best and worst about Britain today. Following (but not too closely) a route he dubs the Bryson Line, from Bognor Regis in the south to Cape Wrath in the north, by way of places few travelers ever get to at all, Bryson rediscovers the wondrously beautiful, magnificently eccentric, endearingly singular country that he both celebrates and, when called for, twits. Now he has traveled about Britain again, by bus and train and rental car and on foot, to see what has changed-and what hasn't. The result was Notes from a Small Island, a true classic and one of the bestselling travel books ever written. Twenty years ago, Bill Bryson went on a trip around Britain to discover and celebrate that green and pleasant land. Prepare for total joy and multiple episodes of unseemly laughter. A loving and hilarious-if occasionally spiky-valentine to Bill Bryson's adopted country, Great Britain.

Burmese days5/13/2023 The remote town, thinly disguised as Kyauktada in the book, is the real-life setting of Orwell’s first novel, which is no kinder to the “natives” than to the bigoted, brandy-soaked empire-builders of the British Raj. As residents of the quiet riverside town of Katha, they are successors to the “Orientals” reviled in the book by Orwell, the British satirist who went on to write Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four. It is no coincidence that Kyaw Swe and his colleagues are debating the once-banned semi-fictitious novel set in the 1920s. “The judge’s character is most like the Myanmar character.” The way it shows Myanmar people,” said Kyaw Swe, a baker, railing against one of the characters in the book, the scheming judge U Po Kyin. “I don’t like the behaviour of the Burmese in the book. Nibbling on finger-food at a low breakfast table in northern Myanmar, members of the Katha Township Development Committee sat and discussed the novel Burmese Days, George Orwell ‘ s caustic homage to the “ dirty work of Empire “.

From the Civil War to our combustible present, White Rage reframes the continuing conversation about race in America, chronicling the history of the powerful forces opposed to black progress.
