In a Sunburned Country

 

I love Bill Bryson's books. They're always so funny and clever. 

I have always wanted to visit Australia (among a million other places, like Havana). There are, of course, a couple of things that give me pause: the cost, the time, the gigantic and deadly spiders. Bryson tackles all of these issues and more but makes a really good case for getting over it and coming to the happiest country on Earth (I know it isn't really but it seems like it is). 

And I'm obsessed with Silverchair right now. Has absolutely nothing to do with Bryson's book, but they're from Australia, so it's (marginally) relevant.
