At Home by Bill Bryson This is not a Sapiens-style retelling of the history of mankind. It's light reading - a quaint look at the history of the modern house, room-by-room, with many diversions into whatever topic that takes the author. But it ends up touching on a lot of interesting interconnections of how the western world developed. It's a great read to escape the oppressive grind of 2020 while still learning tons of interesting things on every page.
