At Home: A Short History of Private Life by Bill Bryson

Recommended by Jo Ann
643.1 BRY [sound recording]

Bryson's narration of the audio version is a real treat. He lives in a 1851 former rectory and takes us on an entertaining tour of each room and how it has evolved over centuries. As People magazine writes, "If this book doesn't supply you with five years' worth of dinner conversation, you're not paying attention." Amazon's Best Book of the Month in 2010.
