I may have to stretch out a bit...my chick lit isn't working for me. Your humor is too fun..."at least it'll be warm." To that end, I hope reading about a forced march across the Sahara is a good read.

I love that. I love how it can take me to countries I will never see, and meet people I will never meet.

He slogs through quite a lot of facts and history which other writers might have made quite dull, but I found every bit interesting because of his humor and writing style. It's a book I would like to own and possibly one I'll by for my oldest son. <br /><br />I've decided that this year we will "travel" to a few places by having regular dinners with food from another country. I'm going to try to incorporate some crafts, music, and other elements of the culture along with the food. Since the we are no longer homeschooling and I can't incorporate it into the kids' lessons, most of the effort for these will fall to me. (Teenagers are often not very enthusiastic about mom's projects.) I hope they'll enjoy it and learn something along the way. We're going to start with Haiti.Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08483309441288822407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160371074353452445.post-75578563340424624332010-01-21T06:06:14.116-08:002010-01-21T06:06:14.116-08:00I recently discovered the "continuation"...I recently discovered the "continuation" of the Little House series on a trip to the library to grab books for my 9-12 year olds. I loved the original series so much, I had to get a few of these (by Roger MacBride... chronicling Rose Wilder Lane's life) and snuggle in for an evening. My kids and I now fight over them...<br />Truly delightful!<br />:)nutmeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10859509998429653739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160371074353452445.post-68465139930006241602010-01-21T05:34:11.306-08:002010-01-21T05:34:11.306-08:00I love reading, so many great books with so many g...I love reading, so many great books with so many great places to go.Cactus Jack Splashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12241651708232327588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160371074353452445.post-79556630574660242682010-01-21T03:58:54.262-08:002010-01-21T03:58:54.262-08:00Bryson's travel books are often really interes...Bryson's travel books are often really interesting, and his language history books are fascinating, but I'm always iffy on his general humour books. I love his sense of humour and his writing style, but I've noticed that he doesn't do much research into the "facts" that he pokes fun of, which makes the humour value sink a little.<br /><br />Still, for all that, I do like reading him. I recommend Notes From a Small Island, and Notes From a Big Country. The former is him traveling through the UK, and the latter is a collection of his observations on American life after returning there after years of living in the UK.Riahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08662149930323573110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160371074353452445.post-72595133749982100652010-01-21T03:50:57.356-08:002010-01-21T03:50:57.356-08:00I loved "A Walk in the Woods."

My favorite was when he decided the pack was to heavy and started throwing the contents over the side of the mountain. A great read!
