Local slang c.d,
We don't say "Road" we say "row-d"
We don't say child we say "bairn"
I left out "The" as there are so bloody many, and I have been a prisoner/patient in most!

Hi CD,Originally posted by c.d. View PostI know that atheism seems to be a hot topic of late and that Hitchen's book is considered very good although I have heard that personally he comes across as a real jerk with a huge ego.
Whatever, Hitchens' real-life persona shouldn't affect anyone's enjoyment of the book.

Melvin Harris's early work is great fun, especially if your into the paranormal or urban legends.
Timothy Good is an excellent UFO writer, his books are really good and thought provoking, he lists his sources too!

Hi Sam,
In the same vein, have you heard of Anne Lamott? Her book "Traveling Mercies: Some Thoughts on Faith" is very good. She was dragged from a very worldly life kicking and screaming into the Christian faith. Her take on spirituality is very refreshing, very sacriligeous and very, very funny.
Check out the reviews (303 of them) on Amazon.com.

Thanks for the recommendation.

Hi CD,
Have you read "God is not great", by Christopher Hitchens, yet? Whatever your opinion on the subject matter, it is certainly a consummately well-written and thought-provoking book, shot through with mordant humour.

I am in need of a good book to read. Does anyone have a recommendation? My tastes are pretty eclectic. I enjoy both fiction and non-fiction and a variety of subjects.
