Douglas Adams - And Another Thing, I don't know why I haven't already read it but when it's described as part six of three, it is confusing.
Just FYI, Eoin Colfer wrote And Another Thing, and it's described as the sixth part of a trilogy because, after the release of the third book, it was described as a "trilogy," and with the release of the fourth book, either Douglas Adams or his publishers decided to keep the moniker of trilogy as a joke.
Eoin Colfer, right you are.
That explains how a new Hitchhiker book has appeared without the author being alive to write it.

Since I already ruined the series for myself, I'm going to go ahead and finish the Game of Thrones series.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

Currently, The Religious Life of Thomas Jefferson.
It presents a fairly thorough picture of Jefferson's various writings on religion and remarks to friends, that he was, indeed, a staunch believer in God, but not the trinity and certainly not Jesus as divine, although Jefferson held Jesus' teachings in very high regard.

'The Greatest Show On Earth' by Dawkins
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Read the opening chapter of this in a B & N a couple weeks ago. I had already blown too much money on used books that day, so I couldn't pick it up but plan to eventually.
