Read Sarah Vowell!!

Sarah Vowell,

Where were you when I was striving through History in high school? And how awesome is it that I can tell my kids that Violet Parr (off-spring of Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl) writes fascinating books about American History and other things? So awesome.

I am reading "The Wordy Shipmates" and enjoying it immensely. I bought it at DI for $2. I sound like my dad. But I like it so much that I went to the bookstore and paid $14 for "Assassination Vacation." It took a great deal of self-control to not buy "Take the Cannoli" and "The Partly Cloudy Patriot." I will own and read them in time...

Go read Sarah Vowell. Put down the Mortal Instruments series; put down "Percy Jackson"; put down "Fablehaven." Go read Sarah Vowell!
