Query: Intelligent Observations

These stories of odd occurences, self development and intelligent observations of the world around Ms. Vowell are a pleasure to read. She writes in such a way that each story is as entertaining as it is educational. Each story pulls you along unwittingly toward a moral, whether it be the sanctity of mix tapes, American history or "Species-on-Species Abuse". She writes for more than just a punch-line, which isn't to say there weren't times I laughed out loud (e.g. Rick Derringer promoting clean guitars). A good book to take with you if you're traveling and need short stories that can stand alone.Bonus: There are 5 illustrations in this book by the talented Tony Millionaire, creator of the Maakies comic. What a treat.
