Unfamiliar fishes by Sarah Vowell; narrated by the author. I'd like to think I would be good friends with this author, as she's acerbic, but I think she'd get bored: she's so much smarter than me. There are a great number of historical figures covered in this, even though it doesn't even cover a full century. History not being my strong suit, I won't take away many specifics, although, between audiobooks and local historical research for work projects, I am developing a better idea of what was going on-- at least in the very western states-- after the Civil War.
I listened to this while doing dishes, hanging up the laundry outside, pruning my roses, and knitting.
The 48 hours is officially up, but I'm still home alone; I might be able to finish that last paperback.
