I'm coming to the end of Peter Moore's Vroom by the Sea (very good BTW) and was wondering what to get next.

Any recommendations?

Read all of Peter Moore’s, Tim Moore’s and Tony Hawks’ too. Can’t get along with Bill Bryson despite several attempts.

how about John Simpson? More History/autobiography but it is mostly travel and very readable/ interesting
