At Home - by Bill Bryson

It took me a while to get through this book! There are several reasons for that. Firstly, it's quite a big book. Second, I just don't seem to get enough time to do reading. Third, I needed to "process" the content.

The book is really a semi-random selection of fascinating social history topics, loosely themed by the rooms in Bill's house. Hardly a page went by when I didn't learn something new or have my beliefs challenged. It is an excellent book, which I enjoyed very much and it easily earns a long term place on my bookshelf.

In a way, I wish I'd read this as an e-book, because I could then have easily added annotations and bookmarks to the particularly interesting bits.
