Another exercise in shameless self-promotion

And the first lucky winner of the free Spokesman-Review Book Club give-away plan is… one of my favorite area high school teachers, Ferris math teacher Charlie Brown. I just now mailed Charlie a copy of “Darwin’s Radio,” a science-fiction novel by Nebula Award-winning author Greg Bear. If you want to get a free book — and I mean absolutely free, no obligations — just click here , beginning on Monday, and I’ll send you one. The next give-away: “Evolution” by Stephen Baxter . I’ll continue to give away books every week as a way of promoting literacy in the Inland Northwest… not to mention reducing the stack of books next to my desk that is gradually becoming a health hazard.
