I love Sarah Vowell....
I really enjoy here essays on This American Life...

The one about being a Goth Chick for a night is simply hilarious.

1. Assassination Vacation is one of my favorite books.
I also read The Partly Cloudy Patriot, but I haven't had a chance to read The Wordy Shipmates, yet.

2. The Wordy Shipmates is the only one I've read, and it's wonderful and hilarious both!

4. I haven't read any of her books yet
I have heard her on 'This American Life' and I love her writing as well as her voice. Did you know she did the voice of Violet in The Incredibles?

Anyway, which of her books would be a good place to start?
