... I got bogged down with this about two-thirds of the way through, after having become slightly pissed off by her tone which I perceived as 'oh look at me, ain't I so cool but sophisticated?'

The enthusiastic epinions here may save this from being one of the very few books I started that I didn't bother finishing.

I'll have to go back and think up some cons for you. Thanks K! ...t-žoo

I've always been a big fan of Sarah Vowell on "This American Life". Sounds like her book is just as good. Thanks for the review.

Her voice . . . (Reply to this comment)

has always brought me to attention. Doesn't she sound like she's, like, 12?
Her essay on Frank Sinatra is brilliant. I will soon buy this book for my Dady because I'm sure he'd appreciate the insight.

Great review. Wonderfully sums up Vowell's importance.

Peace,
