Title: What Book Should I Read Next?
Post by: Sleeper on March 13, 2013, 10:18:50 PM
Got a birthday coming up and I think I want to add another religion, science, or philosophy work to my collection.

I've got The God Delusion, God is Not Great, The Believing Brain, Breaking the Spell, The End of Faith, Letter to a Christian Nation, The Portable Atheist, The Atheist's Guide to Reality, and A Universe From Nothing, and I'm leaning toward picking up either Sam Harris' The Moral Landscape, Karen Armstrong's A History of God, or Bart Ehrmann's Jesus, Interrupted, but I wonder if I'm missing something.

Is there a must-read for non-believers not mentioned above?

I highly recommend Brian Greene's The Elegant Universe along with the two books that followed it as well. The main concept of the book is string theory but he goes into great detail about many other things as well while leading up to the main subject.

Just read a good trashy novel with sex, murder, incest, slavery, rape, pillage, plunder.... Oh, I hear the bible meets that criteria.. Kind of long and really boring though..
