Hurrah!!  Sherman Alexie has won the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature!  His brilliant, amazing The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian is my favorite teen novel of the year.  I don’t think I have ever had my favorite win the NBA.  So hurrah!  Hurrah! 

I heard it on NPR on my way to work and restrained myself to loud cheers and a happy dance, refraining from honking the horn and flashing my lights in glee.
