Just started "Assassinatin Vacation" by Sarah Vowell...

wow. Every paragraph is a gem. What a funny, insightful woman.

Anybody else reading it? Does she have other books that are worth getting?

1. You'll love it. Also try "Leave the Cannoli" and "Partly Cloudy Patriot"

I *love* her writing style.

Here's my thread on the same book. :thumbsup:

2. My favorite line from Assassination Vacation so far..

Lincoln was late for his own assassination. Sarcastic, funny, true and sad at the same time. Love her style of writing.

Also did not realize that the tee shirt Timothy McVey was wearing when he bombed the Oklahoma City Federal Building was commemorating Lincoln's assassination. Vowell is a funny and insightful scholar.
