[quote=@Dinh AaronMk] tfw apart from her Lafeyette book and Unfamiliar Fishes the local library doesn't have any other Sarah Vowell books. [/quote] The Lafayette one has been on my books to buy list for awhile. She's an odd author, if you like lots of digressions, anecdotes, and modern day travelling to historical sites in among your history you might like her. She does a very good job making historical characters feel alive.
