Stephanie Pendrys’s Reviews > At Home: A Short History of Private Life > Status Update

I've had this book for four or five months and like every other Bryson book, what's great is that each chapter can stand on its own. It's not something that you have to read in a handful of sittings or else be stuck having to go back and reread sections. I've learned at least 20 historical tidbits already. For example, I didn't know that Thomas Jefferson invented French fries.
