Notes From A Small Island by Bill Bryson

Mildly entertaining but not a must read. I read this a while ago and to be honest can’t remember too much detail. The gist of it is an American goes to the UK and travels around, eventually he meets an English woman, they fall in love and get married and then many years later he decided to finish his tour of the ‘small island” before moving to the US. It had moments of charm, moments of being trite. My overall takeaway was wondering why he was wasting my time with stories of his life? I have my own. This book included the sort of stories that make a person interesting to talk to, but less interesting to read about.
