The reading group I belong to here in California is reading it in February. I am also a big fan of Sarah Vowell since my boss at the Drum Barracks loaned me Assassination Vacation . She now has me saying “I have been Seward Plaqued ” like she and her family do when they visit someplace that is just a plaque of what had been there.

Was Plaqued yesterday in Charleston a couple of times.

I finished Wordy Shipmates a few weeks ago. Typical Vowell—insightful and entertaining. Though I thought this one lagged some in the middle. Still, highly recommended.

Haven’t read Holzer’s latest, though it’s on my short list.

I’ve got Holzer’s book on my Christmas list so thanks for the review. I look forward to reading it.
Also, I downloaded “Wordy Shipmates” as I’ve recently become a big Sarah Vowell fan after finishing Assassination Vacation.

Astute.
