pickThis is the second Vowell book I've read. The first was The Partly Cloudy Patriot, which I loved and read two or three times throughout the years. This one wasn't nearly as good, but one can do a lot worse than reading Sarah Vowell. I would put this somewhere between So-So and a Pick.

Assassination VacationFacing Manhattan from Hoboken is reminiscent of one other American vantage point: the view from Alcatraz. As on the Rock, you stand and gaze across the glittering city-on-a-hill and feel like trash, like they're good and you're not, like if you had any guts at all you'd risk death and swim across that river right now.
For the love of fonts! I've read (and love) Take the Cannoli - the rest of these are from my vast TBR pile.

If there's anything worse than insomnia, it's taking advice about insomnia, especially from people who can sleep. Being up in the middle of the night is kind of nice actually. It's quiet and dark and the phone doesn't ring.
I took the cannoli.
pickI really liked this book! Sarah Vowell is hilarious once again. This compilation of stories is worth a read!
"It's good to know where you're from. To know where your beginning is."
I was a good daughter, a good sister, a good girlfriend, a good student, a good citizen, a responsible employee. I was also antsy, resentful, overworked, and hemmed in.
