WORTH CONSUMING!

I bought the audiobook for a roadtrip. It’s read by Vowell and features voice cameos from Brad Bird (from the Incredibles), Jon Stewart (as President Garfield), Conan O’Brien, and other interesting personalities. I had fun trying to guess who was who. :)

WORTH CONSUMING!

Sarah Vowell is a nut. But she’s my kind of nut. She’s obsessed with presidential assassinations (especially that of Abraham Lincoln), and this book details her trips (pilgrimages) to sites associated with Presidents Garfield, Lincoln, and McKinley during their lives, their deaths, and their afterlives (in the form of memorials, museums, and statues).

But Vowell is funny—these aren’t dry recountings of academic research trips, they’re filled with stories of her encounters with others along the way, and their reactions to her enthusiasm for discussing these assassinations.
