I have just finished reading the God Delusion by Richard Dawkins and enjoyed it very much.
Has anyone else read it or plan to?

Yes it is.
It has given me new insight into the process natural selection.
It has given me good philosophical arguments against theist illogic.
It made me think thoughts i'd taken granted for years and reinforced them.
Gotta be good then hasn't it!

One for my yuletide reading list, I reckon. The perfect antidote to all the sanctimonious b.s. that gets spouted at that time of year... _________________ www.uksfbooknews.net - fantasy, sf, horror and graphic novel news from UK genre authors, creators and publishers.

oh yes! dawkin's tone could be less conversational, but it's an interesting read
and lots of tasty quotes for me to utilise in essays, as a philosophy and ethics student.
I got my copy signed by Richard Dawkins at the cheltenham lit festival, tres exciting! He didn't say anything to me though.
I'm about half way through. *is too lazy to read these days* _________________ Jolinare~
