Assassination Vacation by Sarah Vowell

5.0

My favorite of Vowell's books by far (and I love pretty much all of her books.) A perfect blend of the historical and the anecdotal. Whether eulogizing Edwin Booth (long-suffering brother to John Wilkes), side-eyeing would-be ambassador-turned-presidential assassin Charles Guiteau, or delving into the history of the 19th-century Oneida free love commune, this book is enjoyable on every page.
