[QUOTE="Brewdude, post: 570854, member: 1723"] [IMG]https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780767919395/MC.GIF&client=mcldp&upc=&oclc=[/IMG] I first read this when it came out and have just re-acquainted myself with it. What a totally amazing assembly of accounts, stories, history, digressions (and sometimes Bryson's digressions have digressions!), which are ostensibly to relate to how the different rooms in our houses came to be what we know today. There is much British reference here, as Bryson is using his own British home as a jumping off point. Perhaps a bit on the rambling side but it keeps it from being a dry read. Extensively researched (per the bibliography), Bryson has outdone himself once again in only the way he can, with his lighthearted and entertaining style. Thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended!
