What a town!

Washington Schlepped Here, Walking in the Nation’s Capital by Christopher Buckley; 159 pages; 2003; Crown Journeys, New York, NY; 1-4000-4687-4; 9/6-9/8

Christopher Buckley can to D.C. to write speeches for HW Bush for one year in 1981 and still lives there.  I have this in audiobook format also so if I ever go to D.C. I will be able to listen to this while I actually walk around the town.  This alternates between poignant, ridiculous and sublime, just like the town it is taking us through.   There is only one book in this series that I didn’t like and that was the one on Portland.   Buckley offers little known trivia and personal knowledge of D.C.  RRR

Random Sentence from next book;

It was the kind of thing that would drive you crazy, if you weren’t already crazy to begin with.
