Rough Stone Rolling

I finished "Rough Stone Rolling" today, and the thing that struck me the most about it was how many people were interested in what I was reading! I usually read on my commute to and from work, and have never been asked what I was reading by fellow commuters until I started reading this book. Over the course of a week, several people on the train asked me what I was reading, and several others were reading the book over my shoulder. One gentleman appeared to be as into the last 30 pages as I was. I was trying to finish reading the book, so I read a few pages at work during lunch, and a couple of co-workers asked me about it. Needless to say, "Rough Stone Rolling," drew more attention than the rare occasion I read the Scriptures on the metro.
As for the book, I enjoyed it. Here's what I said about it on goodreads.

Comprehensive thorough biography of Joseph Smith and touches upon the basic
tenets of Mormonism. I appreciated how the book put doctrine J.Smith taught into
a context I hadn't thought of before. I also liked the way the author laid out
the life story of J.Smith. Fascinating book-doesn't gloss over the controversial
parts of J.Smith's life, but is somewhat sympathetic. In my opinion, it's
impossible to be completely objective when talking about J.Smith.

This Intrigues Me.

My Zimbabwean Girlfriend

At work, I have a one letter policy. If you're a crazy, I'll still send you a reply, but that's it. I've received a Dollar check for the White House (guy wanted the White House for a buck), letters about conspiracies, curses, and a Native American Gentleman who'd call every couple of weeks (when he was drunk) to ask me for his money the government owed him. My job rocks. Anyway, I was busy yesterday, and replied to an e-mail. I was suspicious, but decided to send a reply. I get this in response. Meet my new Nigerian Girlfriend. Funny, I've been hit on by men and women before, but this is the first time someone has asked me to be their boyfriend.
