Sarah Vowell

Assassination Vacation was a great book.  I know so much more about Lincoln now that I've read it.  Well I just saw Sarah V. on The Daily Show chatting up her new book (The Wordy Shipmates), all about the Puritans.  As it is only available in hardback right now, and we're way too cheap to buy a hardback copy of anything, we decided to go to the library (novel concept).  Of course all three copies were out and I'm 14th on the waiting list.  Sigh.  In the meantime I checked out one of her older books, The Partly Cloudy Patriot.  I have a feeling that the paperback edition of the Shipmates will come out before lucky number 14 is called at the library.
