At Home

Here, beloved Bill Bryson takes us on a room-by-room tour of his house and uses each room to explore the history of the modern home. Drawing upon his encyclopedic knowledge of every aspect of our comforts, Bryson demonstrates that everything in the world eventually ends up in our home, in the paint, the pipes, the pillows, etc. One of the liveliest and most inquisitive minds on the planet, Bryson's book is one of the most entertaining ever written about private life.
