Bill Bryson - Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid - I found it hilarious in places. Read it on the plane to Munich and had the stewardess check I was okay as my attempts to not laugh too loudly made me look like I was having a seizure apparently. Found his A Short Walk in the Woods similarly funny.

The Hills are full of Swedish Girls - have only just ordered it, but several mates have recommended it. Author's apparently going to be signing copies at the top of the Devil's Staircase on the WHW if you're interested.

+1 for Carl hiassen- I particularly enjoyed 'Skinny Dip.'
P.J O'Rourke is also very funny. 'Age & guile beat youth and a bad haircut' is a great book to start with .Posted 1 year ago # -
+3 for Brookmyre, very good.
+1 for Pete mccarthy, however I think McCarthy's Bar is funnier, his trip round Ireland re discovering his childhood.
Dave Lee Roth's autobiography. Read it years ago and made me laugh and wonder how Van Halen ever made it to a gig.
