Oh gosh, I've got Sarah Vowell fever again. A tiny part of me is almost happy Maile Meloy's book wasn't at B&N today so I was forced to buy another Sarah Vowell book. She's AMAZING as evidenced by these quotations from The Partly Cloudy Patriot:

The thing about going to Ellis Island is that it's a lot like going to Ellis Island. Perhaps to help

This is seriously the perfect entry. Those are some of my favorite Sarah Vowell quotes, plus you referenced Bullshit and wrote about your awesome grandparents. I love you.

Aw, thanks! I love you too because you introduce me to these wonderful things. Well, except for my grandparents. :-P

Not familiar with Sarah Vowell, but methinks I should be. :-) She seems to share the weird history quirk.

Your GP's sound awesome. Thou Shalt Not Waste ice cream indeed.

It's cute. She's almost like the chick lit author for history. It's fun because she's genuinely excited about history.
