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

5.0

---

Bill Bryson has the most wonderful, meandering way of telling his stories and somehow, they eventually circle back. In At Home, he has used the rooms of his house to weave a complicated web of historical bits and bobs. It was a fascinating and humorous read in which I learned much. Oddly, I was even able to *reference something* I had just learned in the book while out in the real world. How funny is that?
