Yesterday evening, we went to a talk by Bill Bryson. He was primarily promoting his new book, but it was rather more than a sales pitch. He is not a natural stage presence, but he is an engaging speaker nevertheless. He talked about various things that interested him, did a few readings from his books [not just the latest] and took questions.
Afterwards, he was available for book signing. It took a while, as there were quite a few people. Many of them had armfuls of books and wanted photos, which I thought was a bit of a cheek. I have met him before, but it was good to see him again.
