Kristin's Book Log


Friday, August 27, 2004
Bill Bryson's African Diary was a really fast read, but an enjoyable bite-sized nugget of Bryson. The profits are all going to CARE, a charity that does work in Africa, so if you buy it instead of reading it from the library like I did you'll be giving them some support.

James Gleick's Faster looks at the speedup of just about everything in modern life. Oddly his short little chapters made it hard for me to read fast. It was interesting, but I think Chaos showed off his writing better.
