At Home: A Short History of Private Life. Bill Bryson. 2010. ISBN 978-0767919388. I am a Bryson fan. This book porportes to be about this old country house in England that he lives. Well it becomes a story of English ( and American) homes and how they became they way they are . You also find out the genesis of room and board and all kinds of English phrases. Along the way you find out why mens’ suit-coats have useless buttons at the bottom of the sleeves. And a whole lot else. Just a delightful book.
