This is a hideous narrative of a privileged, white male traipsing through Europe without hotel reservations and expecting everything to be ready and waiting for him. This book is nothing like Bryson's "A Walk In The Woods", which I found quite entertaining. "Neither Here nor There: Travels in Europe" is a sexist tome in which Bryson repeatedly comments on the features and anatomy of women in the various countries he visits. His commentary has a condescending, elitist tone and his brand of "tongue in cheek" humor is at times downright mean. I couldn't finish this book because I found it more tedious to read the further I progressed. This will be the last work from Bill Bryson I waste my time with. If I had a fireplace or a wood stove, I'd use it for kindling.

I will not read it here nor there,
I will not read Bill Bryson anywhere.
