I was riding from Minneapolis to St. Paul. I asked him if he was Mormon. He said no. I said "Good, because you probably wouldn't be for long after reading that book." He found it a fascinating read. I commented that it was a "truth is stranger than fiction" type of history, and he replied that you couldn't make this stuff up.
I also explained that I was a Formon and that the book was pivotal in my exit. I also compared NMKMH to Bushman's book commenting how he had tendency to gloss over some important things. We both agreed that Brodie is a great writer.
I also noticed that the gentleman in front of him was reading Orwell's "Animal Farm". There was something in the air yesterday on the bus from Minneapolis to St. Paul.
