Jan 2022

Just finished it for the 3rd time.

It's the only book I've ever read more than once.
Enjoyed it almost as much as the first time.

Bill Bryson has been one of my favorite authors for many years now.

Subtitle is A Guide for Occupants

Easily in the top three books I've read in my 55+ years of reading.
