Selfishly I am sad to see Bill Bryson retiring. He is a brilliant writer. I love so many of his books. My favourite is One Summer: America, 1927, which captures a passion for history and culture like few books can. People are snobby because he sells well but he is a genius. – source2019-02-15T17:48:08.000Z
This book on everything that happened in 1927 is really good. Crazy how much important stuff happened in a year. – source
