But she was such a nice fake person ;)<BR/><BR/>I will have to check out those other Bryson books - I bet you won't have to make good on that offer. I've enjoyed everything I've read by him.Diane Kristinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14223064643990199706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14125347.post-20897930202378482742009-01-09T09:52:32.494-08:002009-01-09T09:52:32.494-08:00By the way, Alena isn't a real person, but I suspect you knew that already.Suldoghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14125347.post-83567727141964366372009-01-09T09:52:03.327-08:002009-01-09T09:52:03.327-08:00"The Mother Tongue" is a great book! I read "Notes From A Small Island" by Bryson, and immediately searched out everything he ever wrote. Magnificent writer.<BR/><BR/>(If you haven't read "Notes..." or "The Life And Times Of The Thunderbolt Kid", do yourself a favor and get them NOW. If you don't love both of them, I'll give you your money back. Seriously.)Suldoghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.com
