Bill Bryson? Old and cranky?
Really???

[(Anonymous)]

Not OP, but trust me, even for Bill Bryson. His crankiness used to be amusing; in this book it's basically "everything sucks. Bastards. Asshole. This is a boring town." Then why are you writing about it?

[(Anonymous)]

OP acknowledges this right in the text of the secret, upfront. It's like, the first sentence. I'm not sure why the sarcasm is warranted?

[sparrow_lately]

I wasn't being sarcastic. I think of Bill Bryson's writing as, like, fairly jubilant.

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt but how much of his work have you read? He's always had a cranky, complaining schtick, used for comic effect. I'd say it's a key element of his style.
