On Vox: Mmm, books.
Colin showed me his newest book purchase, State by State: A Panoramic Portrait of America, and I couldn't help but notice who had written an essay on my fair little state of Massachusetts (while noting how little-read I must be since I only recognized a handful of other names who wrote of other states). The essay on Massachusetts was written by none other than the preminent John Hodgman! Moreover, I would discover, he was born somewhere in the tiny Boston burg of Brookline! Aw.
If there was ever someone I wish I was but could never be it would be John Hodgman. I don't think I could even pull off dressing like him, let alone any other aspect of his divine exterior and papercut wit.
Also, this book makes me hot too (and should make you hot too).
