One from Dan, who goes by the blogname of Poser or Prophet:
Dear Roland,
Could you please send me a copy of “Marxist Criticism of the Bible”? I live in urban Canada and make a decent wage, but I seem to spend most of my money on beer, smokes, and women. Also, while you’re at it, could you send me a case of beer (I prefer Belgian) and a carton of smokes (I prefer Djarum Specials)? I can take care of the rest myself.
Many thanks,
Dan
I need some help here: does Dan qualify for a copy of Marxist Criticism of the Bible? … which, I might add, Continuum will not let me revise and put into a second edition, preferring to keep it on their list at some rediculous price – black market is cheap as chips though.
One thing Poser or Prophet has managed: to be added to my exclusive and highly discerning blogroll.

I might be biased, but I think Dan absolutely qualifies for a copy of that book. Also, I’m slightly concerned that no further mention was made of the beer and smokes, as I think he qualifies for those things as well.

If you want really cheap beer and smoke,s go to Russia. When I was there in 2007, a litre of local beer was less than 20 cents.

OK, what’s your address?

aghahaha – he most certainly does qualify for the Marxist Bible for producing that lovely litany of lies – as well as his blog which I have read from time to time. Send him one of those red Tshirts too – I painted ‘useful idiot’ under the portrait on mine. And while I’m at it – you promised ‘Political Myth’ to me ages ago… :-p

But you’ll need a good letter, Steph …
26 May, 2010 at 3:18 pm
but it was my letter back then that inspired you to promise it!

Dear Roland,
Please send me a copy of Political Myth. I’ve been suffering from insomnia for a long time now (it’s 5.53 am) and I need something to read that will put me to sleep. I will also write a really damning review with lots of four letter words like ‘crap’.
with much disrespect,
steph
ps if you don’t I’ll trash your bike.

Done, Steph. Give me your address again.

[...] was kind enough to send me a copy of this book after this post prompted this exchange over on his blog. He has also continued to extend that kindness and has agreed to be interviewed [...]
