Books & Literature From Megan Romer, your About Books & Literature Editor After this past weekend's adventures in imaginative costuming, I think it might be a good week to settle in with some outstanding nonfiction. 'At Home: A Short History of Private Life' by Bill Bryson Bill Bryson is one of my favorite writers. I always look forward to his new travel adventures, but this time, he's turned his focus away from the great blue yonder and toward the home and hearth. Packed full of Bryson's trademark trivia-dropping and witticisms, it's not to be missed. Now in Paperback: 'The Big Burn' by Timothy Egan The Big Burn, the story of Teddy Roosevelt, the formation of the National Park Service, and a big ol' fire that burned 3 million acres of land in one weekend, was all the rage when it was released last October. It has now been released in paperback, so if you haven't yet had the pleasure, it's a good time!
