At Home: A Short History of Private Life
by Bill Bryson
Another excellent book by Bill Bryson. I'm not quite sure what I find so enjoyable about his writing. He has an excellent eye for a good anecdote, and retells telling and intricate details extremely well. He also has a talent for writing prose that is exceedingly easy to float through without any noticeable effort.
In this book he essentially manages to tell human history through a short journey around his own house (which, it transpires, is in Norfolk). Fascinating.
