Both to absorb the trivia, which I adore, and because mention on Sedaris on audio is a bit of a put off for me.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06474584473012742915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-19141843602070545632011-01-31T18:18:56.209-05:002011-01-31T18:18:56.209-05:00I am a definite history buff so will enjoy this on...I am a definite history buff so will enjoy this one and will add it to my list right now!Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01739982274914536036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-26044838262599284502011-01-29T21:03:55.718-05:002011-01-29T21:03:55.718-05:00Can you believe that I have never read this author...Can you believe that I have never read this author ...

It sounds like I would probably get a lot more from this one by reading it, rather than listening to it. I like the sound of this book, and can't wait to try my first Vowell. Glad to hear that your experience with this one was good, even though it was a little taxing to remember all the details!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857638467064749190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-37126801247745686712011-01-27T10:55:09.251-05:002011-01-27T10:55:09.251-05:00Sounds fun!

You make a good point about not being able to absorb the finer details when listening. I think this may have to be both a read and listen. Maybe I'll read along like the books my kids used to read and listen to when they were little.
