If there's anyone who hasn't yet read this 1991 account of Bryson's journey round Europe as a student, it has all the usual ingredients to recommend it - big laughs, intelligent observations, unexpected quirky insights - but with the added relish of feeling superior because of our inside knowledge into how Europe and Europeans function. As always, enormously enjoyable.
