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

4.0

---

Bryson is at his best when he's following tangents and he does that exceedingly well here, going off in unexpected directions and somehow making it connect to the subject at hand. I love interesting tidbits about the world and Bryson knows how to wrap tidbits in informative and funny prose. His dry sense of humor is right up my alley.
