According to the modest author, The Brothers Rjukerooka: A Brief History of the Institute of Blinding Light is the greatest story ever  or never  told. This heroic literary mockumentary examines the most overlooked adventurer/explorer duo in Finnish history: the mysterious Rjukerooka brothers, who combine the derring-do of Howard Carter discovering King Tut’s tomb with the zany cluelessness of Sacha Baron Cohen. Until award-winning humorist Harmon Leon "discovered" them, the boys were practically unknown. Now they are getting their just deserts as the innovative founders of the Institute of Blinding Light. Author Harmon spares no detail, credible or otherwise, in this exciting story of Tito and Ingoora. He includes a wealth of supporting material, including bones, documents, shrouds, and "sacred" relics! At a time when religious dogma has become an increasingly powerful force in cultures East and West, Harmon Leon suggests we take a step back and laugh.

When the red states trumped the blue states in the 2004 presidential election, many Democrats were left wondering just what makes the conservative mindset tick. Wonder no more. Join self-described "infiltration journalist" Harmon Leon as he goes undercover to explore what being conservative really means. A flaming liberal in real life, Leon has been called "a cross between Michael Moore and South Park." He shares with readers his hilarious misadventures as he dons the persona of a "pissed-off convenience store clerk" at the Knob Creek Biannual Machine Gun Shoot in Bullit County, Kentucky. Next, he’s working security in southern California at an "Arnold for Governor" rally, where he has several memorable encounters with the Terminator himself — and finds himself constantly promoted! But this is only the beginning. Leon reports on his zany experience at a Christian wrestling extravaganza, where the scantily clad wrestlers toss opponents into the stands in the name of Jesus. Taking a different tack, he paints on temporary tattoos, wears a black T-shirt reading "Kill ‘em all. Let God sort ‘em out!" and then entertainingly describes the reactions he gets when he tries to purchase a condominium in an exclusive gated community. Uncertain about whether his inspiration is Jane Goodall or journalist John Howard Griffin, author of the 1950s’ classic Black Like Me, Leon nonetheless perseveres from one adventure to the next, hoping not to be found out and get his head broken. Leon’s daring anthropological romps into finding out how the other half lives are by turns outrageous, disturbing, and hilarious, yet always illuminating. Don’t be surprised to find yourself laughing out loud as you turn each page!
