So...I know there is a "what are you listening to" thread but I am sure there are still some people out there that enjoy a good book and a good read. I know that I love to fall asleep while reading a book at night and if you do this enough times...you eventually get through the book.

Anyway, what is everyone reading right now? I'm currently reading two books.

Tim Ferris' Four Hour Work Week (http://www.amazon.com/4-Hour-Workweek-Escape-Live-Anywhere/dp/0307353133)

And....

Charles Belser's Larry The Penguin Searches for the Meaning of Life (http://www.amazon.com/Larry-Penguin-Searches-Meaning-Life/dp/098208465X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1244802150&sr=1-1)

Both are really good so far. What are you guys reading? Magazines, books, newspapers?

I'm reading The Road by Cormack McCarthy, the author of No County for Old Men. Granted, it's slow-going because I'm dedicating so much of my time to sewing an jewelry stuff right now, but still.

I think I already told you guys what I was reading in the evangelism thread. Here we go again eh? :D

I finished this book 2 weeks ago. I liked it. I knew all about the "moral law" aka the argument from morality, but it was interesting to learn about evolution and genetics and how everyone is very closely related on the genetic level.

Dr. Francis Collins has also been on "The Veritas Forum" at UC Berkley:

I just finished this book today:

I can see why Dr. Keller has such a successful church in Manhattan. The man certainly does know his way around Christianity. I really really like this book. I wished he would have gone into more details here and there, but you can't have everything.

He was also at the Veritas Forum at UC Berkley:

The Next book I am going to read:

I have a rather old paperback version of this book that I bought at library sale for $1. If I like it, I will buy a newer version and buy some more of Russell's books.

I might buy this one If I like Bertrand Russell:
Russell, Bertrand, Why I Am Not A Christian And Other Essays On Religion And Related Subjects, Barlow Press, Reprint, 2008

I would like to see what atheists have to say. So if someone could give me a good book that has reason 1, reason 2, reason 3, etc... for being an atheist, I would appreciate it.
