Journal Entry 1 by Appelsiini from Lempäälä, Pirkanmaa Finland on Monday, April 25, 2011

Danny Silverman's first novel reached # 10 on The New York Times bestseller list, but that was twenty years ago. Now he's just making ends meet when he gets a mysterious offer he can't refuse: a speaking gig in a Minnesota Bible college that will net him a small fortune. Why me? Silverman wonders, but then: Why not? What can happen? Only a record-breaking snowstorm that traps him under the same roof as the evangelical Christian faculty who see this gay, Jewish writer from San Francisco as the incarnation of the anti-Christ.
Well known as a social critic and writer of cult-status fiction, Theodore Roszak delivers a deliciously funny novel of contemprary politics in which the battle for the moral heart of America is waged between a college full of scripture spouting fundamentalists and one outraged liberal who is forced to stand up for all he believes in - religious tolerance, evolution, a woman's right to choose; sex! vodka! coffee!

Thanks Appelsiini for including me in the ring, and for posting the book to me!

The package had a very nice smell, love the teas (I'll keep 1-2 and share with the rest of the participants). The stamps are cool, too - great Finnish design!
