This volume contains humorous accounts of two journeys, one taken across America, the other a trek across Europe. "The Lost Continent" is an account of one man's rediscovery of America and his search for the perfect small town. Instead he finds a continent that is doubly lost: lost to itself because it is blighted by greed, pollution, mobile homes and television; and lost to him because he has become a foreigner in his own country. In "Neither Here Nor There", the author journeys from Hammerfest, the northernmost town on the European continent, to Istanbul. In doing so he retraces his steps as a student 20 years before, visiting countries including Norway, France and Italy.

“幽默”大概是最常放在Bryson身上的標簽瞭。個人感覺他的書最適閤馬上枕上廁上等零碎時間看,因為笑點密集,隨便拎齣幾句話,都能讓人笑齣來。比如他形容美中大平原的平:摞起兩本電話黃頁站上,能看齣去一個州(原文是很大一片風景,get a view)。 但用大塊時間一口氣讀下去...
評分通宵看的這本書,大半夜的在床上笑到打滾。Bill Bryson太擅長損人瞭,而且都那麼一針見血。一麵讀一麵佩服他怎麼可以把話說的這麼幽默諷刺,恨不得背下來用。可以感覺到,他雖然以移民英國為幸事,又看不慣美國人的種種無知陋習,還有些反商業化反庸俗化,但心底對那片土地還是...
評分在2天之內劃過所有地點人名, 這個BILL無數次在加油站,無數次在café點炸薯條和炸雞套餐...永遠在說"我到瞭某某公路,某某城市,這裏很picturesque, 這裏poor 或rich,這裏有某某紀念館..." 作為travel literature也許隻能在tedious之間找點妙語連珠瞭... 當然他確實也算是美國...

評分看過傑剋凱魯亞剋的《在路上》之後可以看看比爾•布萊森的“在路上”,比爾•布萊森(1951-)被稱為最幽默的旅遊文學作傢,他之於旅遊文學就像日本導演宮崎駿之於動漫界,不僅因為他們都有漂亮的大鬍子,而且都在全球擁有無可撼動的業界核心地位。他們齣現之前,業界混沌...
