| Anything by Bill Bryson (travel writer)....a laugh a minute, and very informative at the same time. |

Now I don't get on with Bill Bryson, he is too cynical, and seems to be laughing AT the locals, rather than WITH them. Using them for his own ends, somehow.
For an example of a book which simply enjoys what ti finds, and starts out like a traveller trying to write about his experiences, but ends up with you realisng that the book is actually by an author writing about his travels .......
.......try "500 Mile Walkies" by Mark Wallington...I tbough it was out of print but I see it's being re-published next month...
