I liked the "End of Faith" and "letter to a Christian Nation". The latter was succinct and to the point.
I have read some of Harris's other books, with varying appreciation.
I didn't actually join Harris's forum, I did not want to be a regular on an authors web-site associated forum.
I joined Project Reason. It's supposed purpose was to promote rational thinking (not books). Harris was the owner of that site
Last year, Harris decided to merge the Sam Harris Forum with the Project reason forum. Project Reason is now out of existence.
So here I am waiting to see if the Sam harris forum is going to turn in to a book promotion site or remain a general discussion site like "Atheists Forum".
"End of Faith" and "Letter to a Christian Nation" are great sources of information for atheists like me. Not so his other books.
Those 2 books are very compelling.
I like those 2 books.
I have never met him so I don't know if I would "like" him.
He does not interact on his own forum.
