I've read and loved several of fellow expat Bill Bryson's books.
I bought At Home sometime in December, and promptly put it on the shelf and forgot about it. I was in the mood for some nonfiction last weekend, so I picked it up and started reading. It's a little bit repetitive, but otherwise very well written (and exhaustively researched). It's one not to read if you're embarrassed about laughing out loud on the train; thankfully, I'm not!
It's one of those books that will give you random dinner party fodder for months. You'll never look at your pillow the same way again, either.
