Greetings, all!
I joined today, this is my first post. I feel right at home already, so here's my ten cents'.
Yes, any and all by Dawkins, but I'd like to point out his book of selected essays, called "A Devil's Chaplain". These essays in particular stood out for me: "Darwin Triumphant", "Son of Moore's Law", "Viruses of the Mind" and the very personal and poignant "Letter to my daughter - Good and Bad Reasons for Believing".
Daniel Dennet's exposition of the Brights movement is quite interesting - though I'm having a hard time buying that whole "bright" as noun and not adjective business (
here's one by Dawkins as well). Other than the unfortunate name (or does anyone think it'll stick?) I'm solidly with them.
Then I'm gonna go out on a limb here and mention the three books that influenced me as a teenager the most way-back-when. They're fiction, but each one an excellent read. Just throwing it in there, see what happens, whatever, you know.
"The Color Purple" by Alice Walker
"A Prayer for Owen Meany" by John Irving
"Good Omens" by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman
