Read: Bill Bryson - At Home, A Short History of Private Life

I bought this book in the airport before our flight home from Europe to Toronto. Perfect choice! Filled with lots of fascinating facts, that roll smoothly from one unexpected segue to another. I had read another good book about the history of the home by Witold Rybczynski (Home, A Short History of An Idea) and was worried it would repeat all the same information, but Bryson's book is much more free-ranging, more of an exploration of the history of our modern lifestyles that happens to be worked in around the organizational structure of examining the home. Time flew by as I read the book - it felt like the shortest flight of all our recent travels.
