An excellent book on a very serious subject
+ An absolute must read

The God Delusion
Richard Dawkins
Mariner Books, 2008
Truly Honest Review ~ Yes I Read The Book
It is my goal to provide an honest review of this book, as seen from my perspective. I appreciate what Dawkins says, from the viewpoint of his arguement. Dawkins also, surprisingly, admits that the existance of God is a 50/50 chance. He does, however, provide arguments for why he believes God is ...

Eternity
Greg Bear
Tor Science Fiction, 2007
A thinking piece not an action piece
+ the continuation of characters is a real dive!
+ DON GIBSON'S THE SINGER, THE SONGWRITER 1961-1966
