There are two kinds of people in this world: those who are Irish, and those that wish they were.  For both groups, Sterling has published a genius compilation of Quotable Wisdom that makes the perfect gift on St. Patrick's Day.  Of course, we at Whom You Know feel that every day is St. Patrick's Day...and if you are reading us, you must agree that the Irish do have remarkable sayings.  From the land to the people to the history to religion and the experience of being Irish itself, every possible topic is delved into in this brilliant book of quotes.

We particularly love the timeline in the back that chronicles Irish history with dates throughout the ages, and it starts in 432 when St. Patrick arrived.  The next date is 800 when the Vikings arrive, and everyone as enthralled by the History Channel VikingsVikings 2 
series certainly must have a special appreciation for these two decades of Irish history...the last and perhaps the best topic of all is Irish Wit and we like that chapter best.

Every day is a great day for the Irish.  Join the party with 
The Irish: Quotable Wisdom Edited by Carol Kelly-Gangi as it has earned our Highest Recommendation.  This book is best enjoyed with Guinness.

With their keen humor, poetic eloquence, and gift of gab, the Irish have long been renowned for their way with words. This utterly beguiling collection of wisdom from the Emerald Isle celebrates the unique Irish perspective on life, with all its challenges, triumphs, and tragedy. The unforgettable quotations come from such extraordinary figures as Swift, Wilde, Joyce, Eamon de Valera, Edna O'Brien, and Bono.

Carol Kelly-Gangi is an attorney and editor whose books include The Essential Wisdom of the Presidents, The Saints (Quotable Wisdom), The Essential Wisdom of the Founding Fathers, and Essential African American Wisdom (all Fall River Press). She lives in NJ with her husband and two children.
