And while some things did bore me and others went totally over my head, I did find that I kind of enjoyed her style. Vowell has an odd humor about her, and the way she writes her adventures down makes for an entertaining read. I'd love to participate in this draw.

It looks to be very funny, especially since I love historical fiction and non-fiction books. Plus, I just got a couple of her other books that I am planning on reading also.
