Giveaway: Win a copy of David Farley's An Irreverent Curiosity

by Mike Barish (RSS feed) on Jul 13th 2009 at 5:00PM

Last week, Gadling interviewed travel writer David Farley. Now, we're excited to give away a copy of his hilarious, quirky and fantastic new book, An Irreverent Curiosity. Chronicling his tales in the tiny Italian village of Calcata in search of the lost foreskin of Jesus, An Irreverent Curiosity is a great read.

Back in 2006, David Farley uprooted his life in New York and moved to Italy with his wife and dog to solve a mystery: What happened to Jesus' foreskin? The townspeople didn't trust him. The Vatican rebuffed him. And the odd cast of characters kept him amused, befuddled and intoxicated. It all makes for a fantastic tale and now a copy of the book can be yours. For FREE!

Leave a short comment sharing what missing relic, artifact or curiosity you'd love to find. The Holy Grail? Noah's Ark? The secret to Miley Cyrus' popularity? You name it, and the winner will be randomly selected.

The comment must be left before Friday, July 17 at 5:00 PM Eastern Time.

You may enter only once.

One winner will be selected in a random drawing.

The winner will receive a signed copy of the hardcover book An Irreverent Curiosity (valued at $25).

I'd really like to get solid proof that Jesus really existed, and that he did all those miracles. It would have been great if Farley had found his foreskin. I'm curious on how his journey went.

John the Babtist's right thumb. The rest of his hand is in a monastery in Montenegro. Was he chastised for hitchhiking?

I'd spend years looking for Jerry Garcia's finger. Not because I'm a hippie, deadhead, or devil stick wielding stinky super hippie, but just because I would like to take it on tour and have aging boomers take acid and pay $124.00 to go see Jerry Garcia's finger. It could be on stage with Phish! We could finally answer the age-old question: Is it true that there is more talent in Jerry Garcia's finger than in the entire band moe.? Yes, I'd go in search of Jerry Garcia's finger and then sell latex models of it. It would be the hippie relic like a porn star's anatomically accurate dildo. We could make guitar picks modeled after his fingernail. Put a little heroin addicted gazillionaire in your jam!

So yeah, either that, or William S. Burroughs's pistol that he shot his wife with. But that one I'd keep.

I'd love to find the lost Gospels, and read the Gospels that were rejected by the Church! I want to see Mary Magdalene's testament. Thanks for the giveaway!
