Notes from a Small Island
by Bill Bryson
In a way, this mid-1990s travelogue is sort of like the sequel to Paul Theroux's mid-1980s "Kingdom By The Sea." Both feature an oft-times indignant, self-righteous American writer wandering the isle (feet and trains only!), making funny-to-an-American-audience observations and calling out sloth and hypocrisy wherever they see it. Both authors have a keen eye for observing and recording the decline of Western Civilization as they see it unfold in Britain, and both books kind become a chore to complete at around the half-way point.
