Im not too sure why you would want Bill Bryson before a trip other than that hes amusing as hell, but I dont think that any of his books really qualify as particularly travel-oriented. His books are basically about HIS takes on places and people.<BR><BR>Just so you know, if you dont already, hes not a Rick Steves sort of writer at all, that is if youre looking for a travel guide.<BR><BR>Nothing to do with Spain, but I found his NOTES FROM A SMALL ISLAND to be laugh-out-loud funny. <BR>

If you want to read one of his books that has really short chapters, I also enjoyed "I'm a stranger here myself". It's a collection of his articles on America after 20 years of being away, and each chapter is about 4 pages long, which makes it easy to pick up and put down and pick up again. <BR><BR>I also loved "In a Sunburned Country" but that's probably because I spent a few weeks in Australia. Seems the one everyone has mentioned would be a great start.
