Trade paperback edition in very good condition.
“I love a sunburnt country, a land of sweeping plains, of ragged mountain ranges, of droughts and flooding rains.”
It is the driest, flattest, hottest, most desiccated, infertile, and climatically aggressive of all the inhabited continents, and still Australia teems with life—a large portion of it quite deadly. In fact, Australia has more things that can kill you in a very nasty way than anywhere else.
Ignoring such dangers—and yet curiously obsessed by them—Bill Bryson journeyed to Australia and promptly fell in love with the country. And who can blame him? The people are cheerful, extrovert, quick-witted, and unfailingly obliging: their cities are safe and clean and nearly always built on water; the food is excellent; the beer is cold and the sun nearly always shines. LIfe doesn’t get much better than this…
Read Alikes for In a Sunburned Country: A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail by Bill Bryson; The Geography of Bliss by Eric Weiner; The Sex Life of Cannibals by J. Maarten Troost
