This one was a real surprise. Apparently somebody in the Washington press gallery snapped this picture the other day of the U.S. president reading my new book.
The reporter then asked Obama why he was reading Is the Atheist My Neighbor? and he replied: “If Randal can unite atheists and Christians, maybe I can unite Democrats and Republicans.”
That is pretty cool, I must say. When I first wrote this book, I was worried that I might have to fake stuff like this in a shameless ploy to seek publicity. But it turns out the book is selling itself! (Keep in mind that I came across pictures of Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris reading the book just last week.) I can’t wait to find out which other famous people are reading my book!
