At Home: A Short History of Private Life
by Bill Bryson
As all the other Bill Bryson books this one is packed with interesting information, about history, science and language. It is really gripping from the beginning but some parts drag on a little and I found it necessary to read some fiction in the meantime. What I liked a bit less about this book was the slightly depressing tone, while focusing on many terrible events of the past, like diseases and the disgraced lives of the poor. I obviously still commend Bryson for the hard work and extensive investigation behind this book. Learned a lot, just wish it hadn't left me so down.
