Any fans of Bill Bryson's book "A Walk in the Woods" here?

4. In a Sunburned Country

Sure, like you I have probably read all of his books several times, including that one. They really are wonderful to read again every few years or so.

The Lost Continent is, in my opinion, his funniest book. I've actually bought several copies of it that I've given away, and that's not something I've done before (You're welcome, Bill). I'd say it should appeal to anyone, but to especially baby boomers who endured family driving vacations in childhood. I think I actually had tears in my eyes laughing at times, it was that funny and recognisable.

I had feared he had mellowed a bit with his more recent books, but his memoire Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid assured me he hasn't lost his edge. That description of his three oafish uncles was wonderfully, hyperbolically funny (and harsh).
