Eine warme Empfehlung von meiner lieben Leonie. Ich bekam schon kleine Einblicke durch Sprachnachrichten von ihr. Sehr unterhaltsam. Das Buch ist eine Sammlung der Kolumne von Bill Bryson und zeigt die wundersame Welt der USA mit all ihren Eigenheiten und Besonderheiten. Besonders witzig, da Mister...
Notes from a Small Island by Bill Bryson chronicles the walking expedition that the author took across Great Britain right before he moved back to the United States.
