What people on Hacker News said
It is basically the same style and formula of A Short History of Nearly Everything but applied to a walk around his home in England.
I am a sucker for a good history of science and technology and Bryson is really, really good at it.
If you want to further develop that gratitude, you might like At Home by Bill Bryson
