Bill Bryson 'to retire from writing'
Bill Bryson, author of travel and science books which have sold millions of copies worldwide, is considering putting down his pen for good.
The 68-year-old, who was born in Iowa but has dual US-UK citizenship, told Times Radio he had been treating retirement as an experiment this year and "it has been successful and I'm pretty likely to continue".
Bryson, whose books include A Short History of Nearly Everything and The Lost Continent, is perhaps best known for a travel book on his adopted homeland Notes from a Small Island... More here.
If you want a lighthearted read that is always educational, there is no one better. Will miss his new releases.
