(wowza, note to self, don't mention Bill Bryson near Jan)
I've read A Walk in the Woods, which I thought was okay, not as funny as I'd hope, but interesting. I stayed away from everything else he writes because I can't take him seriously enough. I find him a little phoney, a little too much "look at me I'm Mark Twain" and not enough haha. Which is less of a solid opinion (like yours) and more of a personal whim of mine.
Oh, I don't know. I think yours is just as solid an opinion as mine, which is really just one part opinion to three parts passion. As you will doubtless have observed, I tend to either not give a damn about any given topic or give a huge amount of damn, often disproportionately so. :-) And then express the opinion with all the language skills that growing up with my parents (an English teacher and the daughter of an English professor) equipped me. :-)
