The Last Continent

Terry Pratchett

HarperTorch, 2000

Discworld
I've decided he's too good and too prolific for me to write a brand new review every single time I read one of his books. Discworld currently has 34 titles and every one of them will probably knock your socks off. His mind bubbles and flashes like a boiling pot of ...

The Lost Continent: Travels in Small-Town America

Bill Bryson

Harper Perennial, 1990

Side-splittingly Funny!
I'd read four Bryson books before I read this one, and this is the funniest of the lot. Irreverence and biting wit on almost every page. I've definitely had more laughs from this book than any other I've ever read. I can only assume that the people who are giving ...

Death in the Dark Continent

Peter H. Capstick

St. Martin's Press, 1983

Not just for Hunters
Many other reviewers have characterized "Death in the Dark Continent" very, very well. It is a bit more graphic than Capstick's earlier "Death in the Long Grass", but not much. But you definitely do NOT have to be a hunter to thoroughly enjoy Capstick. I think, ...

World War I: The African Front: An Imperial War on the Dark Continent

Edward Paice

Pegasus, 2008

The best by far
The Great War in Africa has very few books to define it, and in some cases the better books are just windows into particular experiences. Not so with Paice's book... it treats the war in Africa as the epic that it was and deals with it in all its shades. During the ...

The Scramble for Africa: White Man's Conquest of the Dark Continent from 1876-1912

Thomas Pakenham

Avon Books, 1992

The Dark Continent's Darkest Chapter
It would be an understatement to write that Thomas Pakenham embraced an ambitious project in crafting a comprehensive, single-volume history of the European colonization of Africa over the course of some four decades a century ago. Few authors could have succeeded ...

Jim Malusa

Sierra Club/Counterpoint, 2008

Unforgettable Adventures
On the surface, "Into Thick Air" appears to be an interesting book about a guy who rides his bike to the lowest points on earth, writing descriptions of what he observes along the way. But, only a few pages into the book you suddenly realize that this book mines much ...
