One Summer: America, 1927

I've always loved pretty much everything Bryson writes, from his travel books to his biography of Shakespeare. He successfully meanders from topic to topic but carries you along without making you feel disjointed. Personally this was a part of American history I had poor knowledge and I learnt a lot without feeling lectured to.

I could read Bryson on anything and enjoy it. This one felt a bit disorganized at times, but it was still quite good.

Started this originally 10/15/13 but only read 58 pages. Restarted 6/5/14 and read it quick. I wound up enjoying it, especially for mostly being about topics I don't really care about (aviation, baseball, etc.). It did jump around a lot but I didn't mind that as much as I expected. Very interesting book.
