William McGuire "Bill" Bryson, OBE, FRS was born in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1951. He settled in England in 1977, and worked in journalism until he became a full time writer. He lived for many years with his English wife and four children in North Yorkshire. He and his family then moved to New Hampshire in America for a few years, but they have now returned to live in the UK.
In The Lost Continent, Bill Bryson's hilarious first travel book, he chronicled a trip in his mother's Chevy around small town America. It was followed by Neither Here Nor There, an account of his first trip around Europe. Other travel books include the massive bestseller Notes From a Small Island, which won the 2003 World Book Day National Poll to find the book which best represented modern England, followed by A Walk in the Woods (in which Stephen Katz, his travel companion from Neither Here Nor There, made a welcome reappearance), Notes From a Big Country and Down Under.
Bill Bryson has also written several highly praised books on the English language, including Mother Tongue and Made in America. In his last book, he turned his attention to science. A Short History of Nearly Everything was lauded with critical acclaim, and became a huge bestseller. It was shortlisted for the Samuel Johnson Prize, before going on to win the Aventis Prize for Science Books and the Descartes Science Communication Prize. His next book, The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid, is a memoir of growing up in 1950s America, featuring another appearance from his old friend Stephen Katz. October 8 sees the publication of A Really Short History of Nearly Everything.

“Houses aren’t refuges from history. They are where history ends up.”
Bill Bryson and his family live in a Victorian parsonage in a part of England where nothing of any great significance has happened since the Romans decamped. Yet one day, he began to consider how very little he knew about the ordinary things of life as he found it in that comfortable home. To remedy this, he formed the idea of journeying about his house from room to room to “write a history of the world without leaving home.” The bathroom provides the occasion for a history of hygiene; the bedroom, sex, death, and sleep; the kitchen, nutrition and the spice trade; and so on, as Bryson shows how each has figured in the evolution of private life. Whatever happens in the world, he demonstrates, ends up in our house, in the paint and the pipes and the pillows and every item of furniture.

读后感
初识比尔布莱森是通过他的“小不列颠札记”，没有见过作者本人，但是通过那本书不难得出结论，他是个有点小性格，脾气有点差，固执己见而且善于对自己揶揄过头的自以为是的老头。或者是我错了，他的书让我觉得他是这样的。 所以我继续看了他的“走遍烤焦国”和“东西莫辨逛欧洲...
评分 评分“来，看看我的家”主人热情的招呼着，于是，好奇的客人跟着主人，在他的刚落成的大房子里探险。敲敲刻花的新门，摸摸华丽的墙纸，坐坐装有软垫的新家具，翻翻主人的藏书，在厨房摸一块新烤出来的饼干，偷偷窥视一下女主人的化妆间……作者用这种有趣的描述方式将一大堆和人...
评分这本书是在罗辑思维的活动中抢购的，一共6本书，这是我阅读的第一本，花了靠一周的时间。总的来说，这本书还是不错的，它全面叙述了我们生活中的一些用品及房子 梳妆台 厨房 幼儿房 花园 书房等的兴起，再慢慢地改进，就出现了我们现代社会中看到的样子，若是没有前人的发明及...
评分冲着作者的名字买的，希望延续《万物简史》那种惊艳的感觉。这本书内容实际上很有意思，通过一套几个世纪前的旧式房子的各个房间引出不同的话题，涉及建筑史、建材史、奴役史、能源史、疾病史、性交史、育婴史等，让人大开眼界。但无法饶恕的还是那个问题，我都怀疑以后敢不敢...

呃……跟想像的不太一样呢，就是万物捡屎第二季了相当于~
评分比万物简史更加无聊……
评分略慢，还是Made in America比较好看。（十八十九世纪的资本主义国家人民生活真是水深火热啊。。

评分万物简史可算有趣，可是不至于非常优秀。此书延续百科全书式的叙述，穿插人物八卦和幽默，具备畅销书的特征，什么都泛泛而谈，一大堆资料和人物，可是不能给读者提供有用的历史资料，也不能用深入的描述和分析给读者留下深刻印象。看此书如同看中国民国才子佳人的八卦一样，喜闻乐道，但没什么价值。偶然看看可以，长此和单一地看这类书籍，人会变蠢（同时却会以为自己知道很多）。
