• "At Home" is full of anecdotes from history, Bryson offers readers a good read. The book's organized around each room, pulling stories from different eras, it tells you how each room has evolved through the years.

• An interesting and comprehensive look at both our home and the history that brought us to the homes we live in (note: this history revolves around the history of Bill's British home, so all stories eventually lead there). It is an interesting and intriguing perspective and I look forward to reading more of his books.

• Another delight of a book from Bill Bryson. He has a restless curiosity about the world which he then packages into beautiful readable prose with a dash of dry good humour. While this book is ostensibly about the various rooms of a Victorian vicar's house in Norfolk, he manages to weave into the telling a wonderful array of interesting and informative facts. These facts would almost be trivia, but are made relevant by the structure of the book. I wish all the non-fiction books I read could be written by Bryson. Read June 2011.
