Added Blue Highways to my wishlist. Haven't read a good travel book since Bill Bryson some years ago.

Which book by Bryson have you read? He's been on my list for some time now.

I think I've read The Lost Continent. I've also read A Short History of Nearly Everything , Made in America and started reading At Home. TLC: don't remember much, ASHoNE: great stories but I already knew some of the science tales, MiA: disappointing / boring, AH: great first part.

Bryson's best when he's passionately telling a story. For me he hits the sweet spot between fascinating and informative writing. Of those four I'd suggest At Home or ASHoNE, both are great.
