At the moment, I am reading Bill Bryson's latest bit of brilliance. At Home: A Short History of Private Life is in the same vein as his previous books. It is witty, clever, full of fun facts and anecdotes and well-written to boot.
I love Bryson's books, and I own most of them either in print, or as an audio book on iTunes. I especially love his books because many of them are all about traveling- which is why I mention them here!
When I was preparing to go to China, I downloaded three of his books and spent a good chunk of my travel time listening to them. My favorite thing about Bryson's audio books is that he frequently narrates them himself, and I love when audio books are read by the author.
Bryson has a very dry sense of humor, possibly developed by the years he spent living in England. That's another thing I love about Bryson- like me, he is an American who considers Great Britain to be a second home.
I would absolutely recommend any of his books, but my favorites so far have got to be A Walk in the Woods and A Short History of Nearly Everything.
I am thoroughly enjoying At Home so far, and it seems like it's going to be very much in line with what I've loved about his work so far.
