You know that frustrating feeling when you are at the airport, ready to board and your flight gets cancelled. Then you have to be rerouted all over the planet and it ends up taking you the entire day and night to get home. I’m guessing you fellow business travelers know the drill. Well, thankfully I had an e-book downloaded I wanted to read. It got me through the delays with a smile.

The book I read was Skull Valley by Anderson. This book was written by one of our own, good old long time poster “sd” who is known as for his quirky (often off color) one liners on RfM.

This book was candy for ex-Mormons! It is a detective mystery and hilarious. It takes place in Utah and has to do with an investigation with the Goshute tribe. Imagine a black FBI agent working with a dorky Mormon partner investigating the Mormon culture.

Not to give too much away, but imagine the Mormon guy trying to explain why it was not a good idea for the black FBI guy to barge into the temple. Imagine the Mormon guy getting all offended when he hears swear words.

This book is a very easy read- just the kind of thing you would want for an airport or day at the lake. It’s a good story and touches on many issues about the LDS history and culture. Only an ex-Mormon can truly appreciate some of the insights.

I’m really glad sd decided to put this book on Amazon in electronic form. It was cheap (always a nice thing, right?) and just the kind of read I needed.

If any of you read it, return and report. I’ve found some really interesting books written by ex-Mormons from RfM.

I just wanted to make everyone aware that this book is out there in case this sounds like something you would enjoy reading too. One of the best things about RfM is getting book recommendations.

Thanks, sd! You can spin a tale! Also, thanks to administration for letting him mention it here a couple months ago.

I read it too. It was great!

Let's see, I can't remember what does SD really mean? I know you told me all those years ago when we first met but memory fails.

I believe it stands for Crap Detector. :-)
