Unfamiliar Fishes by Sarah Vowell
4.0
Sarah Vowell is such a smart writer and thorough researcher that I always know I will like her books. Unfamiliar Fishes is no exception - fascinating and funny and gives terrific insight into Hawaiian history (something I knew very little about before reading this).
The only real complaint I have about this book is the lack of real chapters or sections - I get that the story is less segmented than, for example, Assassination Vacation which tells three different stories about three different presidents, but sometimes it felt hard to find a stopping place or a way to mentally catalog all of the information I was taking in.
