Reading..... Bill Bryson's At Home



I've started reading Bill's Bryson last book 'At Home'. This is a list of entertainig anectotes, historical references and trivia related to the house, the home. The author's point of departure is a 150 year old rectory where he lives with his family in the English countryside. He presents a historical review of the different parts of the house starting with the Hall and moving towards the kitchen, the dining room,etc... I've learn the importance of the ice in everyday life,the subhuman conditions i which servants lived and even the problems of the streetlights in London in the early decades of the 20th Century



The Crystal Palace is a victorian builidng extensively mentioned in the book.

Ironic, charming and plenty of interesting data, this book's being fun.
