Bill Bryson's African Diary, by Bill Bryson

This is a book published strictly for fundraising purposes for CARE. I think I received it as a gift last Christmas, and just uncovered it and read it. It's under 50 pages long, a very quick read, and of course written with Bryson's wit and particular viewpoint.

Unfortunately, it's short in a lot of ways besides length: mostly short of cohesiveness and depth. Still, any way CARE can raise funds to help people who need the amount of help the refugees in Kenya need is probably worthwhile.
