The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid

Over my vacation I took along with me the fantastically fun and interesting "Life And Times Of The Thunderbolt Kid" by Bill Bryson. I've always had a great love of reading people's childhood memories of comics, television and toy collecting in the fifties and sixties which are widely considered the "Golden Age" of such stuff, and as a personal memoir of Bryson chronicling his kid years growing up in 1950's Iowa, this was SUCH A BLAST to read!
