In a Sunburned Country

I listened to the audio book version of this. It had 10 discs. Bryson's books are very long but they are very interesting reading. I had read the Short History of Nearly Everything book and it was one very good reading. But i do not have the time or inclination for reading long books these days. Audiobooks are another matter.
I learned so much about the Down Under in this book. This book is a cross of a travelogue and a memoir. Many facts and historical notes and stories were narrated in such an engrossing way you almost feel mesmerized by the story telling.
I thoroughly loved it and at the same time learnt a lot!
