The New Atheism: Taking a Stand for Science and Reason by Victor J Stenger, I will post a review when I have finished reading it.

Well, I'm between two books I've been wanting to read for a long time: Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass, and Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin. After I did a paper back in 2008 on the history of Scientific Racism in America from Drapetomania to the Nuremberg Trials, she recommended that I read Uncle Tom's Cabin, and eventually, I went to the Abraham Lincoln Museum in Springfield and I got a copy. Now that I've finally gotten around to its place in my reading queue, I'm going to start reading it.

Got it, read it, loved it.

Have 47 of his books( including a signed copy of the last hero)

You could say I'm a bit of a fan

God is not great by Hitchens. Had it a while but keep putting off reading it for some reason.

Just read God is Great. Read the Portable Atheist sometime back. Both are good books. Currently reading John McPhee's Basin and Range. Next up is his Founding Fish.

If you haven't read Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" or GRR Martin's "Song of Ice and Fire" or as it seems to be getting more popularly known as "The Game of Thrones." It should keep you busy through Groundhog's Day!

To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee (1960)

I truly recommend it!

It was his first novel and it's very good. I've read everything by him since I heard he was taking over for the late Robert Jordan, and he is definitely worthy. I've read the first Wheel of Time book he wrote since taking it over and it was the best one in several of the previous ones by Jordan.

Hey Paul, I just took out Elantris from a library, just started the first few pages, and so far it's a page turner! Thanks for the recommendation.

My friend has read both of those series, I'm dying to read it! Sword of Truth by Terry Goodkind is brilliant as well.

I kept putting that book aside as well, but I'll get back to it someday.

The Sword of Truth series - Terry Goodkind. Once you read the series, you'll forget that J.K.Rowling exist. It is truly one of the best High Fantasy series of all time. You should also check out Maus, it's a comic book story about WW2 Holocaust, it's quite engaging.
