I was thinking about my Mormon penpal while I was rage-typing a portion of my response to her last email and got to wondering:
Mormons challenge people to read the Book of Mormon (and praying about it to convince yourself it's true) as one of their tactics get people to consider Mormonism, and if she eventually puts this challenge to me I would challenge her to read a book that I recommend to her.
Which got me thinking:
What single book, besides the bible, would you recommend a theist read?
Would you recommend a book on atheism?
Would you recommend a book on critical thinking?
On comparative religion?
On textual criticism?
On counter-apologetics?
On history?
Titles and authors welcome!

Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
