A book burning, hosted by the Fernley First Revival Church, is scheduled for this Saturday at the south end of Pap Yoakum’s corn field. Reverend Tillman is asking for contributions to the event and has thus far amassed thirteen Harry Potter novels, five copies of Huckleberry Finn and one paperback edition of Powerful Mojo, a book by noted local author, C. Edgar Nolan. “We think this is going send a strong message,” Tillman told reporters.
When informed of the event, Nolan said that a copy of his book had been stolen from the backseat of his car a week ago. “I don’t care what they do with it,” he stated, “but I think they should pay for it first. It’s the Christian thing to do.”
Reverend Tillman dismissed Nolan’s accusation, characterizing it as “the mindless rant of a Godless man who has dedicated himself to blasphemous writings.”
