RE: Books
My philosophy group is discussing Rupert Sheldrake's Science Set Free which is the American title of his The Science Delusion in which he maintains that science is hobbled by unflinching devotion to 10 "dogmas" that are treated as unimpeachable. Beyond that, I'm reading a lot about early Christianity. I also recently acquired an electronic copy of Richard Carrier's On the Historicity of Jesus Christ, which I've owned a physical copy of for some time, but haven't bothered to read. I tend to be more likely to read at the computer if I read at all, so maybe this will prompt me to start on it. I've also picked up a copy of Elaine Pagels' The Gnostic Gospels to try and fill in some detail in my understanding of the early history of Christianity, but I don't know how much of that I will read.

I'm not much of a reader. I generally only read books when motivated to do so by participation in a book club or reading group.
