The winner of the October 2008 Fool’s Gold Book Giveaway is:

Tim Chen

Tim operates a blog called “To Live Is Christ, To Die Is Gain.”

What does Tim do during the day, you ask? Here is his answer:

I’m a student during the day (Engineering with an interest in everything, including philosophy).

He describes his favorite season this way:

I’m from the Midwest so my favorite season is fall. The air is crisp and clear, stinging your nostrils as it goes in. Cold enough to play soccer or tag with your hands stuffed in your pockets on the colder days. And on the warmer ones, the sun on your back is enough so that you can run freely with shirt and shorts without breaking a sweat. A dewy frost on the ground in the misty mornings before the cool glowing sun cuts into and makes the air so crystal clear.

Winter is even better, the hushed sleeping landscape with only your footprints and the silence. But being inside is cold wet and drafty at times. Cold feet are a common malady along with the constant worry of carbon monoxide. Enthusiastic heater use often results in a drowsy feel and a popped circuit breaker (and a shutdown computer). So overall, fall is the more favored holiday.

Congratulations, Tim! Be sure to stay tuned, everyone, for next month’s giveaway.
