Bill Bryson: Three of the most remarkable things I know

[martyn580]

wow...His accent is mixed between British and American :P

[S2Cents]

He's like a hybrid now. An Ameritain or Britican. Engrican. 

[Ettenyl56]

His logic is absurd as a flea on the back of an elephant. The flea's born on the elephant's back, hatches from an egg produced by other fleas in a community of more fleas for generations. All believe their elephant has the only life. They don't consider there are other elephants in the jungle with fleas on their backs too. For them nothing else exists outside of their own world on the elephant's back. They don't consider an even larger place called the jungle exists with other life forms, too.

Very clear accent...little bit an american , little bit of educated British accent..

[Tankballer]

That is a very strange accent!

I'm about 3/5ths through A Walk in the Woods. Great book. Bill Bryson is a brilliant writer. I could also listen to him speak all day too.

Funny thing is, it almost looks like he's preaching... I was waiting for the :

"let me hear a halleluja.. for all of us being here!"

it truly is amazing!...
