Neither here Nor There by Bill Bryson

Nowhere as funny as his Thunderbolt Kid, but still a pretty good read about his travels in Europe. Europe has changed a lot since he did his trip, but there are still truths in this book.

I cannot remember if I ever read a book which made me laugh so hard. I mean, laugh out-loud into tears funny.

There is plenty of his story I could relate to growing up in small-town Vacaville in the mid-1960’s.

OK good hard science fiction with space ships battles. Sometime not enough believeable as he forgets about how gravity works in space.

Pretty good hard science fiction until the hero-nerd goes to the alien’s planet and he becomes a hero-hero.
