As always, Bill Bryson's books are always pleasurable, though "At Home" was a little slow in parts. If you love non-fiction and love to learn about how we have come to live the way we have, this is a great book to read.

From telling you why a banquet is called so, to why Communism founders Karl Marx and Engels were more than slight hypocrites, this book is not just about stuff at home. And you enjoy all this while delving into a realm of new words (at least to me), thanks to Bryson's excellent vocabulary.
