Am I the only one who picks up books for the first time and immediately checks the index for the word “Mormon?” And if it’s there–which it usually isn’t–it’s very exciting? Especially if the book’s subject makes that inclusion unlikely? Anybody else? Hello?

Not always. But yes.
Not the only one. I do the same thing with newly discovered websites.
I like to check the indexes of histories or biographies for “Mormon”, “LDS”, “Joseph Smith”, and “Brigham Young”. I was briefly excited to discover a reference to Brigham Young in “The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien”. It was rather disappointingly negative. Hopefully, Tolkien has come to a better appreciation for BY in the spirit world.
