具体描述
Bill Bryson's first travel book, The Lost Continent, was unanimously acclaimed as one of the funniest books in years. In Neither Here nor There he brings his unique brand of humour to bear on Europe as he shoulders his backpack, keeps a tight hold on his wallet, and journeys from Hammerfest, the northernmost town on the continent, to Istanbul on the cusp of Asia. Fluent in, oh, at least one language, he retraces his travels as a student twenty years before. Whether braving the homicidal motorists of Paris, being robbed by gypsies in Florence, attempting not to order tripe and eyeballs in a German restaurant or window-shopping in the sex shops of the Reeperbahn, Bryson takes in the sights, dissects the culture and illuminates each place and person with his hilariously caustic observations. He even goes to Liechtenstein.

读后感
第一次读到这本书，是十五岁时英文课本里要求背诵的一篇文章节选，那时觉得作者的文字好美，那一段是描写他在西西里附近的Capri岛上，天色将晚，独自观望远处山丘倾泻下的灯火，脚下就是悬崖与大海。作者写道： “The sea was so far below that the sound of breakin...
评分比尔·布赖森的旅行总是兼有深度和广度，漫不经心的所谓行程规划，恰恰能遭遇俯拾皆是的妙缘。欧洲大陆不同国家的风土人情，由他这样一个生命中满溢豁达和幽默感的人讲述出来，简直是滑稽可笑的，最重要的是，每个国家或者地区都被他写出了各自真实的脾气。比尔·布赖森...
评分看了评论和前言，本来对这书的期望很高。但如果你去过欧洲，还请你远离这本书。作者写作的背景是九十年代的欧洲，即便如此退让，作者写的东西依旧一无是处，完全像是劝解别人别出门了，或者给那些从未出过远门的人的一些安慰。反正下次看见这位作者的东西，我一定绕道。
评分原来这本书，bill bryson写于1992年啊，到现在快20年了。 书里有些内容有些景象肯定有了很多变化啊。 不过有些搞笑的地方比如丸子集体跳水啊，意大利面和你博弈啊，让我回想起来还是有笑点。 游记这种书，还是亲身去过一趟以后看起来更有感触啊，不然一路读下来云里雾里的。 总...
评分I learned the fact that Bryson was popular (besides Wikipedia says so) from the library checking status list. I’m so used to that when searching for certain writer, all his works would be neatly listed with the status description of “available at xxx libr...
