John Hodgman, "Vacationland"

Hodgman, aka, “Judge John Hodgman,”“The Deranged Millionaire,” and The Daily Show’s “Resident Expert,” is a comedian, actor, and the author of The Areas of My Expertise, More Information Than You Require, and That Is All. His memoir charts his progress through both space and time, tracking his experience from childhood to his forties and his movement from his upbringing in Brookline, Massachusetts, to his later forays in Maine. Hodgman’s signature audacity and flair are on full display as he considers the singular lack of appeal in Maine’s beaches, the horrors of freshwater clams, and the purpose of the mustache. Hodgman is in conversation with Linda Holmes, writer and editor of NPR’s entertainment and pop-culture blog, Monkey See. http://www.politics-prose.com/book/97...
