I thought I'd throw together a poll, just because I can. I know the results won't be scientific, and they will be skewed toward geeky types, but I'm asking all the same:
Poll #8532 Missionary Man Poll #1
Open to: All, results viewable to: All
Would you buy a big fat book about a conflicted Mormon missionary who eventually gets himself arrested and charged with hijacking, even given the recent horrible hijackings in the United States?

If such a book were offered for downloading as a 700-page PDF file, what is the most you would be willing to pay for it?
