Sarah Vowell?

Anyone read her latest book "The Partly Cloudy Patriot"?

How is it?

I've read a little bit of it and heard her give some readings. I haven't bought it because I'm not as impressed as I was with Pass the Cannoli.

Bummer. I'll probably get it anyway. I just finished Take the Cannoli and it's a really good book. I love the fact that the low key humor breaks out into some really weighty stuff when she gets to the trail of tears section. I really like her work.

She's a really smart girl with a witty sense of humor. In theory, I would be more than happy to read anything written by her, but I just have to prioritize my time.

The new book is shorter, but seems more unified and more mature in theme. I thought it was very good. It's pretty pricy, though. You might want to wait for the paperback or buy it used.

Well, I went ahead and got it in HC. Powells.com had it for $15.00 on sale. Right now I'm reading David Sedaris' Me Talk Pretty One Day and it's a gas.
