I'm happy to report I've found the antidote to the poison that was reading Bill Bryson's A Walk in the Woods : Tim Moore's Travels With My Donkey . He's a lot like Bryson, but without the snark, attitude, superiority, whining and misanthropy, and with an actual sense of humour. Which is to say, he's not like Bryson at all. I found myself running the laugh gamut from smiles to chortles to out and out giggles. Along the camino he experiences not only fatigue and frustration, but also good company and the kindness of many, many strangers. There is no big epiphany for Moore on his trek, but he does learn how to take things in stride - a million strides, as it were, straight across the North of Spain, with his intermittently trusty steed, Shinto, at his side. I haven't had this much fun with a book in a while.(less)

I'm amazed that Garrison Keillor is seen as the written equivalent of Norman Rockwell; His stories are only nostalgic if you aren't paying attention. The Lake Wobegone of his childhood is a dark, oppressive place, where the laughs are generally at someone's expense and everlasting embarrassment. For those of us who identify, the grim humour and beautifully rendered stories evoke not nostalgia, but a satisfaction that those years are long past.(less)

Stephen Ambrose histories are always simple and easy-to-read. They often feel a little flimsy on first reading, and that was the case here. My appreciation for this book, however, increased when used as a companion to the mini-series it inspired. The show gives us the characters' attitudes and emotions where Ambrose rather glosses over them. And the text helps to fill in details of the battles and strategies, which are always hard to follow on screen. Ambrose's excellent decision to quote liberally from David Webster's journals help lift the otherwise conventional chronology into a more philosophical realm. They're good enough for Webster's estate to have published them after the success of the HBO series. While I'm curious to see how an entire book of his educated, self-examining holds up, the passages Ambrose uses work very well as counterpoints to the blood n' guts anecdotes provided by the simpler, earthier brothers from his band.(less)
