Sarah Vowell tells history from a quirky, personal standpoint. Her new book is just as engaging as her previous ones (and if you haven't read "Assassination Vacation" yet, then you should).

Dewey was from Iowa; I'm from Iowa. If you want to see how a stray cat, found in the library drop box in the middle of winter, can change a town - read this book (his full name was Dewey Readmore Books).

My friend Kat pretty much forced this book on me - I'm glad she did.
