  5. Reading for mental health, but not 'self-help'

    A good book is like good medicine. This is the message that comes to us from assorted British health professionals, and reiterated last week by the U.K.’s leading librarians. Why take a pill when you can pop open a metaphor? Why sit in line at...

  10. What to read into Obama and Romney's favorite books

    Presidents and wannabe presidents are supposed to read. A novel or a work of history under their arms makes them look, in a word, presidential.

  11. Green Wheels: Bill Bryson's misguided campaign against wind power

    Let me say, upfront, that Bill Bryson is one of my favorite authors. The American-turned-transplanted-Brit-turned-American again is without doubt one of the funniest human beings on the planet, and his every contact with the written word should be encouraged.

  12. Feedback: Your favorite travel book

    Bill Bryson is my personal standard as far as travel literature. He's appealing in his teddy bear look and sharp in his wit. His ability to describe things in detail makes me feel as if I'm right next to him, bellying up to the same bar. &quot;A Walk in the Woods" is, thus far, my favorite of his titles. It's filled with sudden zingers so hilarious that I have to spit out my coffee lest I strangle myself. I also enjoyed P.J. O'Rourke's "Holidays in Hell" because it described every vacation my family has ever taken. I could have written that one myself, though my title would probably be, "What is That SMELL?"
