At Home: A Short History of Private
Life by Bill Bryson was a great
read. Bryson manages to tackle all sorts
of subjects in a very readable and accessible way.
I
was left with a few anxieties after reading the book – for instance, he says
that every time you flush the toilet all sorts of bacteria escape into the air
and so you should always have the lid down when you flush. I did this for a while but just couldn't make
it a habit so now I just wonder about it.
I have also really enjoyed reading this book, like everything by Bill Bryson.

I've thought about reading this book. Did he say where he got that idea? I'd think that the, er, bacteria could get anywhere the water splashes. Do you think that is what he means or that the bacteria start to fly somehow...?
