At HomeRead about another book on the list.
by Bill Bryson
The author of the charmingly comprehensive A Short History of Everything here focuses on the objects that fill his own home, giving readers a tour of the place and sharing a small piece of compelling information about every item he comes across. For Bryson, our homes are autobiographies we write every day, journals we keep by acquiring, enduring, and loving. After reading this, no old house will ever seem ordinary; At Home shows how our dwellings are links of commonality that connect us to one another. Mi casa es su casa.
--Marshal Zeringue
