I love sarah vowell because she writes history books (the following is from "the wordy shipmates") with sentences like "talking about winthrop's 'a model of christian charity' without discussing ronald reagan would be like mentioning dolly parton's 'I will always love you' and pretending whitney houston doesn't exist."

I've been thinking about getting her book wordy shipmates. I really love her. I take it that you recommend it.

oh, definitely. somewhat surprisingly, for a book about the puritans, it is both hilarious and incredibly relevant to our current situation. it's the kind of book I'm going to reccommend to plenty of people.

I love her voice the same way I love David Sedaris's.

I really enjoyed it. I think it was like the only non school related book I read this year. God that's so sad.
