The Wordy Shipmates by Sarah Vowell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Vowell once again makes American history fun and funny. Focused here on the bookish Puritans and their squabbles, Sarah ends up mostly discussing early Indian wars, hard-header Anne Hutchinson who talk to God, and banished English theologian co-founder of Rhode Island and kook Roger Williams. More so than I recall in other works, Vowell works in autobiographical details such as her Cherokee heritage and Pentecostal upbringing. This self-narrated audiobook has many supporting narrators, including John Oliver and [a:John Hodgman|13982|John Hodgman|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1319089020p2/13982.jpg].
