At Home: A Short History of Private Life by Bill Bryson

4.0

Thoroughly enjoyable - I do love a popular science/history book, and this was both. I was amazed at the amount of history in here is read before and recently. Having finished "Bonk", I knew some of the Victorian funerary practice stuff, but also "The Signature of All Things" covered a lot of natural history and Darwin information. But obviously they didn't have the same narrative context, so it was still interesting to hear.
