a remarkable bit of advertising

I recently starting reading Anne Ursu's YA books, the trilogy starting with The Shadow Thieves. (Hat tip to Rush-that-Speaks.) If you haven't read them, you should, because they're great. I meant to say, if you haven't read them, you should know they're about a couple of contemporary 13-year-olds in conflict with ancient Greek gods. I love how the kids come across as entirely real and exactly as sensible as actual teenagers. I especially love how they realize they aren't just in conflict with a particular supernatural being, but with a whole metaphysical system.

I borrowed the second book from the library, and found a bookmark--a little Christian evangelical pamphlet. I have no idea if somebody left it there entirely at random, or if that book was chosen because it mentioned pagan gods, or if somebody recognized it as a book advocating metaphysical revolution against pagan gods and thought its readers would be good targets for evangelism.
