One Summer by Bill Bryson


I love Bill Bryson’s writing.

It’s his dry, sarcastic wit that I enjoy so much;  I think I grew to enjoy his style while living in England.

If Bryson were to write more history books, enough to be used in K-12 schools, America’s children would get a 50-point bump in history, geography, politics and literature scores on what-ever testing they’re using these days.

This is a pure joy, even at 500 pages with full sources, bibliography and index.
