ReplyDeleteOh, I never read those Mohican stories -- are they any good?
Great Britain -- funny book.
Patrick McGrath -- too creepy for me.
No idea.

Readersguide: Hitchhiker's is awesome! It's one of my favorite books.
Others have done all the work here, so I'll just ask if you've ever read any Bill Bryson books? They are very funny and offer a good bit of information. I particularly love In a Sunburned Country and (my all-time favorites) A Walk in the Woods.

Collectively, we got them all once again.
ReadersGuide, I haven't read the Mohican stories in years, so I can't really say. But The Hitchhiker's Guide is the book I'm going to BE in a Fahrenheit 451 world, so yes, I love it! More than ANY OTHER!
PAJ, yes I think I've read everything Bryson has written; certainly the two you mention. Sometimes he irritates me with the baby boomer/hippie attitude. But he's a good writer, generally.
