- A Short History of Nearly Everything
- From primordial nothingness to this very moment, A Short History of Nearly Everything reports what happened and how humans figured it out. To accomplish this daunting literary task, Bill Bryson uses hundreds of sources, from popular science books to interviews with luminaries in various fields.
- Down Under
- Bill Bryson follows his Appalachian amble, A Walk in the Woods, with the story of his exploits in Australia, where A-bombs go off unnoticed, prime ministers disappear into the surf, and cheery citizens coexist with the world's deadliest creatures: toxic caterpillars, aggressive seashells, crocodiles, sharks, snakes, and the deadliest of them all, the dreaded box jellyfish.
- American rigolos : Chroniques d'un grand pays
- Retourné vivre aux Etats-Unis après des années d’absence, Bill Bryson s’étonne : « Les Américains ont produit plus de prix Nobel que le reste du monde réuni. On n’obtient pas un pareil palmarès avec une population qui serait exclusivement composée de crétins.
- Shakespeare
- Little is known about Shakespeares life, and in this brief biography Bryson makes no attempt to expand on the known details, as other authors have. Starting by presenting the paucity of facts, he goes on to sketch the life of the worlds greatest playwright, from Stratford to London and back again. He also discusses the theories suggesting that Shakespeares works were written by someone else, dismissing them as ludicrous.
- Shakespeare: The World as Stage
- William Shakespeare, the most celebrated poet in the English language, left behind nearly a million words of text, but his biography has long been a thicket of wild supposition arranged around scant facts. With a steady hand and his trademark wit, Bill Bryson sorts through this colorful muddle to reveal the man himself.

- Notes from a Small Island
- Reacting to an itch common to Midwesterners since there's been a Midwest from which to escape, writer Bill Bryson moved from Iowa to Britain in 1973. Working for such places as Times of London, among others, he has lived quite happily there ever since. Now Bryson has decided his native country needs him--but first, he's going on a roundabout jaunt on the island he loves.
- A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail
- Your initial reaction to Bill Bryson's reading of A Walk in the Woods may well be "Egads! What a bore!" But by sentence three or four, his clearly articulated, slightly adenoidal, British/American-accented speech pattern begins to grow on you and becomes quite engaging.

- Nos voisins du dessous : Chroniques australienne
- « Dans l’avion qui m’emportait vers l’Australie, je me suis aperçu, un peu honteux, qu’une fois de plus j’avais oublié le nom de leur Premier ministre. Cela m’arrive sans arrêt avec le Premier ministre australien : j’enregistre son nom et puis, presque aussitôt, je l’efface de ma mémoire, ce qui me donne un terrible complexe de culpabilité.
