Bill Bryson
Bill Bryson is an unabashed Anglophile who, through a mistake of history, happened to be born and bred in Iowa. Righting that error, he spent 20 years in England before deciding to repatriate. This was partly to let his wife and children experience life in Bryson's homeland - and partly because he had read that 3.7 million Americans believed that they had been abducted by aliens at one time or another. It was thus clear to him that his people needed him. But before leaving his much-loved home in North Yorkshire, Bryson insisted on taking one last trip around Britain. His aim was to take stock of modern-day Britain, and to analyze what he loved so much about a country that produced Marmite, zebra crossings, and place names like Farleigh Wallop, Titsey, and Shellow Bowells.

My main complaint with all the Bryson audible books is that he narrates them. I have no doubt that his ability to pronounce and emphasize words just the way he intended them is an advantage. But he sounds as though he has swollen tonsils, and coupled with a tendency to raise and lower his voice, there were times when I had to guess at what he was trying to say. Then, near the end, someone thought it would be a good idea to pop in a random bit of music and it was even harder to hear his voice over the instruments. Despite all this, I will most likely listen to more Bryson books, because they make wonderful companions on walks or while doing chores.
