Reacting to an itch common to Midwesterners since there's been a Midwest from which to escape, writer Bill Bryson moved from Iowa to Britain in 1973. Working for such places as Times of London, among others, he has lived quite happily there ever since. Now Bryson has decided his native country needs him--but first, he's going on a roundabout jaunt on the island he loves.
Britain fascinates Americans: it's familiar, yet alien; the same in some ways, yet so different. Bryson does an excellent job of showing his adopted home to a Yank audience, but you never get the feeling that Bryson is too much of an outsider to know the true nature of the country. Notes from a Small Island strikes a nice balance: the writing is American-silly with a British range of vocabulary. Bryson's marvelous ear is also in evidence: "... I noted the names of the little villages we passed through--Pinhead, West Stuttering, Bakelite, Ham Hocks, Sheepshanks ..." If you're an Anglophile, you'll devour Notes from a Small Island.
Book Description
"Suddenly, in the space of a moment, I realized what it was that I loved about Britain-which is to say, all of it."
After nearly two decades spent on British soil, Bill Bryson-bestsellingauthor of The Mother Tongue and Made in America-decided to returnto the United States. ("I had recently read," Bryson writes, "that 3.7 million Americans believed that they had been abducted by aliens at one time or another,so it was clear that my people needed me.") But before departing, he set out ona grand farewell tour of the green and kindly island that had so long been his home.
Veering from the ludicrous to the endearing and back again, Notes from a Small Island is a delightfully irreverent jaunt around the unparalleled floating nation that has produced zebra crossings, Shakespeare, Twiggie Winkie's Farm, and places with names like Farleigh Wallop and Titsey. The result is an uproarious social commentary that conveys the true glory of Britain, from the satiric pen of an unapologetic Anglophile.

Hilarious.......2007-10-10
Eloquently written, full of comedy, and insightful. However, it does sound like he has a lot of resentment for the English landscape, and goes a little far critisizing the culture at times. I've lived in england for three monthes however, I find a lot of humor based on the knowledge that I acquired there about the culture. Especially the bit about him talking about the war england waged with iceland over cod. :-D
Non Fiction.......2007-09-03
An amusing account written by a yank who has spent quite a bit of time in pommieland. Probably a couple of others of his books are better, but this is ok for a quick, extemely light read and browse. It won't take anyone very long. The English can be funny, who woulda thunk it?
Homage to Auld Albion.......2007-08-22
This is a cute book about how to see a country up close. Bill Bryson, a yank who became a son of Albion decides to do a rail and bus tour of Britain. Along the way he provides constant observations, some silly, and irreverent humor, and some cogent thoughts about this green and pleasant land, England.
Having been to the UK many times I could find some humor and aggrement to his observations. I only regret that he tended to take a rather superficial look at the land and its people. Much time is spent describing small town centers and decrying the loss of older establishments and stores. Since this book was written back in the early 1990s it is probably quite dated even today. Many of the trends noted by the author have no doubt gott'en worse. There is an undeniable charm about Britain that is quite unlike most other places. For a small island it is rich in history and culture quite out of proportion to its size. I only wish Mr. Bryson might have spent a little more time on those wonderful aspects of the UK without going on endlessly about hotels, pubs, and what he had to eat all through the course of the day. I marvel how for a man of his size and appetite that he was able to walk about as much as he did!
I wish Wales and Scotland could have gott'en better than the short schrift he seems to give them. In particular I think he missed much about the special charm and beauty of Wales. At times his tone is nagging and often redundant. The book is at its best when describing the British character. After living there for so long I wonder why he bothered to come back to the USA. Perhaps he had second thoughts as I believe he is back in the UK once more. Probably George Bush drove him back!
A light and amusing read, better if you have been to some of the places talked about. Over all he seems enchanted by Britain. Unfortunately many of the things that give that island its charm seem to be changing. I wonder if in 20 years the same kind of book could be written again.
Unabridged it is not........2007-07-19
Don't be fooled by the confusing title of this book "Notes from a Small Island [Abridged] [Audiobook] [Unabridged]" It is the abridged version which should be made much clearer on the Amazon site.
More Bryson goodness........2007-06-19
I recommend this book for Bill Bryson fans, but not perhaps for those just starting out with his books. I really enjoy his audiobooks read by the author, but this one is read by the capable but somehow inappropriate David Case. While his British-accented voice is clear and he tells the story well, I can never quite escape the impression that he's reading with a slight sneer, as if putting a sarcastic feel into this tale about his country by an American. I like the story overall and it helps complete the biography of this worthwhile storyteller.
Book Description
Notes from a Small Island
After nearly two decades in Britain, Bill Bryson decided to move his wife and kids back to his homeland of the United States. But not before taking one last trip around Britain, a sort of valedictory tour of the green and kindly island that had so long been his home. The result is a hilarious social commentary that conveys the true glory of Britain.
Neither Here nor There
Thirty years after backpacking across Europe, Bill Bryson decides to retrace the journey he undertook in the halcyon days of his youth–carrying with him a bag of maps, old clothes…and a stinging wit honed to razor sharpness by two decades of adult experience.
I’m a Stranger Here Myself
Bill Bryson read “somewhere” that nearly three million Americans believed they had been abducted by aliens–clearly the Americans needed Bill back. So after years raising his family in Britain with his English wife, the brood moves to the United States, and leaves Bill to chronicle the quirkiest aspects of life in America as he reveals his own rules for life.
Customer Reviews:
Great stories - when you can hear it..............2007-07-05
I purchased the audio book to listen to on a long car trip. The reading by the author is great, however the quality of the recording is inconsistent. Mr. Bryson's natural intonation is fairly low to flat, but as his voice rose (occasionally) and fell (frequently) during his reading of the material, there was little to no effort by the post production team to modulate and equalize the volume - making the lower tones inaudiable. At one point I had the volume on my car stereo at maximum and was still missing words and parts of sentences, only to be almost blasted from my seat when a new chapter would start and the volume level rose precipitously. I own 2 other audio books by Mr. Bryson and did not have the same experience with those products.
Great Company.......2007-03-16
I have a small collection of Bill Bryson audio books and I enjoy them all immensely. The fact that they are read by the author, only increases the enjoyability. These stories are not only entertaining, but quite educational as well. Bill Bryson is a gifted writer who can really "bring you there", makes you want to visit the places he is in...and right now. I'm looking forward to expanding my collection. You won't be sorry with your purchase.

Book Description
This digital document is a journal article from Health and Place, published by Elsevier in 2006. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser.
Description:
Drawing on carer narratives from research undertaken in New Zealand, this paper considers the interrelationship between place and the care-giving experience. In doing so, it considers: first, how informal carers of older people experience the transition in the place of care from the home to care homes; second, how they negotiate new identities for themselves as carers in these new care settings; and third, carers' views on how we might develop more inclusive models of care in care home settings. While much current work on care-giving in the home highlights the blurring of the boundaries between formal and informal care-giving, this paper suggests that the blurring of the boundaries of care may also be manifest in an increased penetration of informal care-giving within the semi-public space of the residential care home.

NOTES FROM A SMALL ISLAND
Manufacturer: Black Swan

Binding: Paperback
ASIN: B000H3BFDG |
Book Description
In this collection authors from eight different countries, representing a wide variety of academic disciplines and theoretical perspectives, investigate the differing phases of capitalist development. They offer diverse and powerful analyses of the postwar boom, economic crises, and globalization within this context.
Customer Reviews:
Best collection on the topic!.......2001-08-31
This is the best critical collection I've seen to date on the question of long boom and bust cycles. It allows side by side comparison of the major theories and breaks new ground in the case of a few schools of thought. The book also helps to place the fashionable debates on globalization, financial crisis, labor conditions, etc in a longer historical perspective. Writing is uneven but mostly fine....

Book Description
"I saw the word Solipsist while reading the dictionary in 1993. I was living
in NYC at the time and the word defined how the city made me feel. I worked
on this book in several cities all over the world until 1996. The writing is
obsessive and claustrophobic. To be solipsistic is to totally realize the ego
and the nightmare of utter self-possession. I went for it and it swallowed me
whole." --Henry Rollins
Customer Reviews:
Solid & Honest front to back...Great Read........2007-09-13
I had been writing for years when, after a speaking egagement at a university, a student suggested the similarities between Solipsist and the book I was promoting at the time Selections from the Serial Killer Cookbook (The Handbook for America's Youth) This student had said that the only book that spoke them as honestly as Selections from the Serial Killer Cookbook (The Handbook for America's Youth) was Solipsist.
Upon their suggestion, I picked up a copy for myself and was blown away by the way Mr. Rollins writes. The honesty in his writing is amazing. One can feel the emotion dripping from the pages and gripping you as you read. I must agree with the recommendation I was given, brutal, honest and very very good. I also picked up Eye Scream (Rollins, Henry)after reading Solipsist, I also recommend picking up a copy of that. It is a great read as well.
just realize what you're in for.......2004-01-06
I read this book because I was dating a guy who was into this book and Eye Scream. We shared a lot of similar outlooks on society and interaction that we hadn't been able to find in a lot of other people. He seemed to think that Henry Rollins was the author that shared that. I had really high hopes for the book.
The book really drew me in. I kept thinking that on one of these pages he was going to really get it. Here and there there would be a sentence or two that really hit the mark. But when I got to the end and realized that dream wasn't going to come to fruition I was quite disappointed. Everything he said was too much... too far... His unease was too extreme to be identified with. His anger was much the same. **I got the distinct impression that he was trying to write from the outside** He wanted to appeal to the young lost soul. He wanted all those angry youth to identify with them (and I hate the stereotype "angry youth"). But maybe that stereotype he was writing to was exactly that - a stereotype. A stereotype that was too far out to be real for even the most jaded teenager.
Now I'm not saying that it's impossible for someone out there to feel exactly the way he describes, I'm only saying that they are rare to the point of not being able to function in society and they are not him. Henry Rollins leads too successful of a life to have trouble doing the simple things he describes in his books, like making eye contact with a clerk at a store. I've seen him on TV (and I hadn't at the time). Henry Rollins is not writing his own feelings. He's just not.
And some people, like this guy I was dating at the time, probably find comfort in the feelings in the book. They may think they relate to them, as he did -- but what he was doing was extracting and twisting it into ideas he sort of felt. He wasn't that angry or that socially mal-adjusted. He just thought he was, I guess.
So in the end, what I want to leave you with is the idea that this book may make you even more jaded than you started if you have too high of hopes for the connection you expect to feel while reading it. You have to read this realizing that it's not Henry Rollins. It's a character that he has created that is not real, in an attempt to rope in the stereotyped angry youth. If you can keep this straight in your mind, it is excellently poetic -- good enough to keep a quote sheet from. Just don't expect a real, live, honest-to-god spilled soul.
i can not change or hide what i am even if i wantd to...........2003-10-20
when i first read "solipsist" i cried.
yes. i did... i am not some rollins fanatic,but i have to admit that this guy really knows what he is talking about.the way he describes loneliness,pain,humiliation that goes along sometimes with "being real" with women,the alienation that big cities can make you feel...this book sums it all up-in living colour,simple language and gut wrenching honesty.
rollins talks about situations that many of us go through- the need for someone,the sleepless nights after a loved one leaves...
the burning need to know where she is and what she is doing....
but! unlike others,rollins offers different solutions.rollins confronts his fear instead of being over sensitive (although his writing IS very sensitive and intelligent)- rollins offers confrontation instead of fear,long periods of loneliness instead of forced agony in marriage. he does NOT give the easy option.
he tells it like it is:"wonder where your EX is? let me assuer you-she is with someone else".brutal? yes.. but true.
this might not be easy reading,but whenever i was down,whenever i have felt bad about myself-whenever i woke up in the middle of the night- i opened "solipsist".didnt even matter which page ,and started reading.
this book is a MUST for everyone who has ever had a hard time and DIDNT break.
i will close this recommendation with a quote from "solipsist":
AND YOU NEVER FORGET WHAT YOU ARE.
WARRIOR.

The only one of his kind.......2003-08-30
Some people have called this work a little dark and a little self defeating.But I love henry rollin's work mainly because he tends to speak the truth even if its hard to swallow.He is willing to explore the harder parts of his character and in doing so makes some discoveries on the nature of things.
Book Description
The letters of John Keats are, T. S. Eliot remarked, "what letters ought to be; the fine things come in unexpectedly, neither introduced nor shown out, but between trifle and trifle." This new edition, which features four rediscovered letters, three of which are being published here for the first time, affords readers the pleasure of the poet's "trifles" as well as the surprise of his most famous ideas emerging unpredictably.
Unlike other editions, this selection includes letters to Keats and among his friends, lending greater perspective to an epistolary portrait of the poet. It also offers a revealing look at his "posthumous existence," the period of Keats's illness in Italy, painstakingly recorded in a series of moving letters by Keats's deathbed companion, Joseph Severn. Other letters by Dr. James Clark, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and Richard Woodhouse--omitted from other selections of Keats's letters--offer valuable additional testimony concerning Keats the man.
Edited for greater readability, with annotations reduced and punctuation and spelling judiciously modernized, this selection recreates the spontaneity with which these letters were originally written.

Soliace for those in need........2002-10-23
I remember back in 1991 reading this book while I was serving what was called an "in school suspension" I was in 10th grade. I do not think I understood all of it.. but I was captured by the powerful words. Some of what Rollins wrote about I would not understand until later on in my life. I still have the first printing of this book. It is ripped up and even has some blood stains on it in some places. I still pick this book up and try to imagine what it was like for him while he was writing this book. He was much younger than me and hardly famous.
I feel that of all of Henry Rollins work this one allows you to feel his deepest emotions. He had nothing to hide or water down. This was it. The guy lived in a toolshed in someones backyard while writing this book. Check it out.
Brutal Honesty.......1999-12-28
This is a fine book of writings by Henry Rollins. He shows us the world through his thoughts, ideas, and eyes. It is brutally honest and says what some only dare to even think.

Get in the Van: On the Road With Black Flag (2nd Edition)
ASIN: 1880985683 |
Book Description
In this long-awaited follow-up to Letters to Rollins, humorist R. K. Overton presents another assortment of hilarious letters sent to performer Henry Rollins. This new collection brings back the oddball cast of characters from the first book and introduces a whole new crew of self- appointed pen pals. Whether they are real fan letters or not, these missives perfectly depict what it's like to be on the receiving end of fame and/or disdain.
Customer Reviews:
What Henry's Fans Are Really Like.......2002-12-15
Ever wondered what it would be like to be famous? To receive bags of letters from adoring fans? The entertainers who live in the public eye know it's a unique existence filled with adoration, disdain and the unending need to balance work and fame.
"More Letters to Rollins" by R.K. Overton is a collection of "fan mail" and art allegedly sent to singer/actor/author Henry Rollins. It offers a humorous look at the lives of celeb-stalkers, whackos, philosophers and various Rollinsonians who want to reach out and connect with the former Black Flag frontman. Overton compiled this sequel to the popular book, "Letters to Rollins," to give readers even more bizarre and earnest commentary from the masses.
Overton notes in the introduction that he's culled these gems from the mailbag to answer the loaded question, "What's Henry really like?" What makes this book so fun to read is the way it answers that question with each entry serving as a humorous character sketch of the fan, and an homage to Rollins's inspiring nature.
The fact that Rollins printed this book through his 2.13.61 publishing house shows a wry intelligence that could easily be masked by the imposing facade of fame, muscles and tattoos. Clearly this is someone who knows how to laugh at himself and the world around him.
Highly recommended!.......2001-12-03
This is a really funny book poking fun at the life of punk poet Henry Rollins. Some of the people from the first book are back again along with a new group of malcontents jumping Henry through a new set of hoops, ultimately dipping into parallel worlds of foreign exchange students, Haiku Contests, Lilith Fair, and covert time travel experiments. Highly entertaining and highly recommended.
Heat your house with this thing..........2000-08-17
What a waste of my time. I actually threw this book away. I only fished it out of the garbage when I found I could get my money back. The letters aren't real, they aren't even BASED on real letters. Overton ISN'T funny and he's playing off a subject that Mr. Rollins has repeatedly talked about in a negative context - getting badgered by idiotic fans who feel he owes them something. Try Rollins' actual books if you want a good read. "Letters..." is overdone, uncreative, and basically a cheap, weasely way to make money. Rot in H-E-double Q, Overton. You're a hack.
And I thought I was an odd little Rollins fan............2000-04-16
R.K. is back again, and he brought his crew of messed up, weirded out misfits with him. In it, we find people writing about theories which aren't based in reality, or even this planet. One might wonder about Overton, but hey, we've all got to make a living *L*. In summary, buy this book, pretend you're Hank, and laugh your head off. Highly recommended.
Customer Reviews:
Letters to Rollins Postmarked April 1st No Doubt.......2007-09-15
Okay, let's say you've seen "This is Spinal Tap" and though you never heard of the band before they seem real enough; although, didn't it seem like some of the funny incidents were just too perfectly executed -- like they were, I don't know, comedy bits. Then someone has to point out to you that, indeed, it's not a real band and, in fact, it is all a joke and you've been the on the end of it.
If the above describes your experience with "This is Spinal Tap," guess what, I'm just going to be that someone who may need to point out to you... these aren't real letters to Rollins. And like Marty DeBerge, I'm not even sure if there's an honest to goodness R.K. Overton. Can you produce any other writing project he's been involved with?
I myself got Got, until I became suspicious when one of the letters on KROK letterhead was noticeably spelled with a final "K" rather than the K-R-O-Q of the famous pure rock station. A little internet investigation did turn up a KROK that actually existed, but the shadow of a reasonable doubt had been cast. Once bitten by Christopher Guest and company, twice shy.
Though I haven't read through the companion book of "R.K.'s" magnum opus, the smoking gun was to be found in the indicia of the first few pages of that tome, and I mean tome, that for whatever legal CYA precedent that needed to be cited, "The references to persons herein contained are fictitious... and any similarities to persons living or dead is purely coincidental." As good as any April Fool's gag for any day of the year, and also is good for a laugh both at yourself and at the material.
