Book of Mormon Transliteration

[_Bret Ripley]

At one point O'Brian's publishers were literally offering "the first one is free".

What is "what happens when drug-dealers take up the cause of literacy?" I'll take 'Gonzo Social Engineering' for $200, please, Alex.

Actually, that explains a lot. I was already hooked so any books I wanted beyond what my Mom already had came from the library. My brother got to keep his shiny new collection.

Heh. I was far too into Tolkien to have the presence of mind to pretend to hate books, but I might've given it a shot if I'd known I could expand my library for free. (OTOH, if it had worked I probably would have shot myself in the foot trying to plumb the depths of this newfound principle -- say, by going on to pretend to hate my allowance and Christmas presents.)

Ah, youth.

I don't spend much time nowadays actively "searching for evidence". Now and then I do spend some time on this board. That's about the extent of my non-traditional involvement in Mormonism. Most of my time is spent in other pursuits. My reading interests have moved on, on the whole, from Signature Books and the like. Right now I'm reading the Grail Quest series by Bernard Cornwell.

A wide range of good fiction is never a bad choice. Good for you, MG.

How very Freudian...
