| 11. |  | Notes from a Small Island
from Random House Audio
Price: $25.95
Customer Review:
I am constantly amazed at how many people seem to think of Brysons writing as "mean spirited" because it is not! He has merely appropriated the British trait of feeling able to grumble about everything and anything, but without malice. It comes from living somewhere where it rains a lot. You have to... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from Random House Audio
Price: $21.29
Customer Review:
Being an opera singer myself the La Fenice fire was a topic that was compelling for me. I had also recently visited Venice and the newly restored La Fenice so it was high on my list of books to read. What's more I had read and thoroughly enjoyed Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. So what was... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

The story line is good,the only thing that didn't get 5 stars from my wife and I was that the author read the book. She should have used a proffesional. The book and the DVD got our 5 stars. J.A.A. | 3.5 / 5.0

| 15. | ![]() | The Travels of Marco Polo
from Blackstone Audiobooks
Price: $62.95
Customer Review:
"The Travels" of Marco Polo is easily one of the most important books in Western literature. Written during the Late Middle Ages, this book has been widely read and appreciated for nearly 700 years. Yet modern readers should note that this is not a modern work meant for pure entertainment.... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 16. |  | The City of Djinns: A Year in Delhi
from HarperCollins Audio
Customer Review:
Dalrymple writes wonderfully. I read this while visiting Delhi, and it made me want to find all those places he described - many of which are off the beaten track. Dalrymple, a true historian, uncovers a whole other India beneath what regular tourists see. Both his discoveries as well as the... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 17. |  | Pole to Pole (BBC Radio Collection)
from BBC Audiobooks Ltd
Customer Review:
This is..in my opinion, Palin's best. It boasts-the same challenge--of getting from point A to B---but the twist of the harsh elements makes it pure genious. | 4.5 / 5.0

| 18. |  | On Mexican Time: A Home in San Miguel
from Random House Audio
Customer Review:
Author has a nice touch, however, half way through he seems to run out of much to say except reportage. Reports about fixing a centuries old house can be about as dull as being there. No duller. There are interesting reflections, along with descriptions of people and places in the first half of the... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 19. |  | River Horse: A Voyage Across America
from Simon & Schuster Audio
Customer Review:
It is a disappointment that many Americans don't read after graduation...let alone know anything about American geography.
A great amount of detail, stories, and fact. I only wish he would have discussed his fellow sailors a bit more. And: more pictures!
Though there may be questions... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

from Nova Audio Books
Customer Review:
The bitter reviews are totally undeserved and off-base. I felt like I was reading about some other book.
The Blanchards, who were probably the worst business people in the western world decide to open a little beach bar restaurant on the island of Anguilla. Things change when they find the... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
