So this past Christmas one of my super awesome cousins(of which I have a few) gave me two books. One was In A Sunburned Country and the other was A Walk in the Woods. Bill Bryson had been recommended to me, and her logic was a book about Australia and one about home. Suffice it to say it was an awesome gift, but that isn't the point of my post.
My point is this. If you want to know my opinions on Australians(not necessarily Australia) read In a Sunburned Country. I am only half way through, and am not even sure if I like Bryson as an author yet, but every time he makes an observation about Australians I find myself nodding in agreement. I can only imagine that this has lead to many strange looks while reading in public paces. I can only imagine what my reaction to his take on Virginian's will be when I get to A Walk in the Woods, although to be fair the people on the AT represent a special breed.
