I have read none of them, but Bill Bryson is on my list at least.

Very, very good - start with "Notes from a Small Island".

Ah, I meant I had never read that particular one. Otherwise I've read everything but the Appalachian Trail one and the most recent one :-)

*puts brain into gear*

I haven't read Africa, Europe, or the new one on Shakespeare I saw in Waterstones today.

God. How depressing - and I mean the list, not the fact that I've read only one. The only one worth reading of the fiction, afaik, is the Rankin, which is the one I have read.

I dunno, not much of that would float my boat either, but I've seen 'worse' of this type of lists...and then there are quite a lot of the public who I imagine don't read books at all. Or don't read anything much. Any reading is better than no reading, and these lists don't mean that the same readers aren't reading other less popular titles as well.

Personally, I very rarely frequent any library other than my brick academic and online academic ones, so I wouldn't feature on this radar at all, whether I read Chat magazine or popular novelists or Shakespeare or obscure textbooks or anything else.

Nope, not a one, title or author. I began a Patricia Cornwell once, but found the prose repellent.

Have read a couple, pretty inoffensive escapism stuff which you can guess what is going to happen right at the start!
