Yeah. That’s right. When it comes to news articles I basically seek out what the person in them read as a child and then make assumptions. But according to Huffington Post, Sonia Sotomayor’s love of Nancy Drew led her to pursue a career in law. I call upon Leila Roy, our resident Nancy Drew expert over at bookshelves of doom, to respond. After all, her commentary on the first ten novels constitute the funniest stuff you’ll read all week.

Nancy Drew, eh? Hmm…that’s right, Nancy’s dad was a lawyer. I remember that from the short-lived Nancy Drew Files–I think Nancy helped out in his office in that series. (Can’t believe I remember that…)
