Yes- is my first Bryson. Has never really appealed to me, but now feel he may be my soulmate :-)

Mother Tongue comes highly recommended from me

Yes, agree Bryson is an entertaining read, but I absolutely adore David Crystal's books. Some are more accessible than others though.

Words words words is an interesting introduction iirc.
