Book giveaway winner!

Congrats to Paul O'Neil, the winner of last week's contest -- writing an ending for the polygamist's breakup scene. Here's how he wrapped it up: "I don't care that you will share with anyone who opens you look at your printing, and fondle your pages. That is what you are, ment to be shared. How can you deny others their use be it paper, libretto, poem or pixels on a screen. It is reading and it is our destiny together. Stay just a little bit longer and I promise I will finish you, or leave and I will find another. A lesser or perhaps one greater, for as it has been written so it must be.

I've sent Paul a copy of Banquet at Delmonico's by Barry Werth, about the American leaders who helped spread Darwin's message here. Sunday, we'll have another giveaway, so drop in!
