I'm reading The Bonobo and the Atheist right now and confess a large reason I bought this book was the freakin' adorable bonobo on the cover...

[Image: 51gKZUtmcgL._SY344_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg]

The book is set up in every-other-chapter type style. One chapter on animal behavior, one on atheism/religion.
I'd read this for the chapters about animal behavior; I haven't found his chapters about atheism or religion that insightful. He mostly seems to be a "don't rock the boat" combined with "Why you gotta be so mean?" kind of atheist so his non-animal behavior chapters get a little whiny to me, especially the earlier chapters. I've learned quite a bit about Bonobo behavior and social dynamics, though. If it were entirely about that I'd be enjoying it more.
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
