Hello everyone!
I will start this post by thanking my return visitors. While examining my stats’ I’ve noticed that 100% of my visitors last month were return visitors. Thanks’ for coming back! I am also getting a lot of Russian visitors so I would like to say, "Добро пожаловать на все мои друзья из России!” which I think means “Welcome to all my friends from Russia.”
I want to use this post to tell you all about a great book I am reading entitled The Dirty Parts of the Bible, by Sam Torode. The book tells the story of a strict preachers son who is searching for a secret treasure to save his father’s home. In order to find the treasure he must go on an odyssey across the American mid-west to his uncle’s farm in Texas. Along the way he meets a cast of motley characters who are wonderfully 3 dimensional and oddly familiar. It is a very enjoyable ride. He finally arrives on his Uncle’s old farm and begins to learn things about his family, and his father, that change him forever.
Anyone who knows a little about Christians and the bible will appreciate the religious humor and titillating biblical references. It you had a very religious upbringing, like me, you’ll laugh out loud. They are very funny and some of the most enjoyable lines in the book. I was hoping to find smart funny scriptural references when I bought the book – just think about the title – and I was not disappointed. The protagonist is a obsessed virgin who is seeing the real world for the first time; a man who wants to have sex more than he wants to go to heaven.
The book is sometimes laugh out loud funny and well written. My only critique would be that I wanted to the novel to have more description of the turn of the century middle America. However, the story never loses its sense of place and setting.
I loved the way he finds the treasure. It happens very quickly and I was just as surprised about it's location as the protagonist. I highly recommend this self published novel. Whatever publisher turned this one down made a big mistake. If you want to read a funny, well written, guilt-ridden, sexy little story, with a nostalgic American voice read The Dirty Parts of the Bible by Sam Torode. Available at Amazon.com.
Good luck to everyone and удача (success), until we meet again I will continue writing into the wind.

P.S.
Please note I have not received anything for this endorsement, nor do I know or have ever met Mr. Torode. I just really liked his novel and think self-publishers should help one another.
