Finished Bryson's "Neither Here nor There" about his travels in Europe. Not bad, but not his best. His story about almost getting lucky with a swedish girl made me laugh - they get drunk together, they lock eyes and she says to him "i'm fool of lust" [sic]. Then she passes out.
Started "Cutting for Stone" by Abraham Verghese (sp?). I'm a sucker for decade- and continent-spanning historical drama, but this one has been very emotionally draining (in one incredibly protracted sequence at least, we'll see about the rest).
