Since I probably won't be participating in the discussion, I'm not going to vote for any of the selections.
For what it's worth, I probably would vote for either A Poisonous Affair or Moral Animal if I were.

Well for this round I'm going with:
3 for The Lucifer Effect
2 for A Poisonous Affair
Now if I'm right, the state of play looks like so:
The Moral Animal has 9 votes (5 from Rivercoil, 4 from Mr. P).
A Poisonous Affair has 7 votes (5 from Mad, 2 from my good self)
The Lucifer Effect has 4 votes (3 from me and 1 from Mr. P.)
It's probably going to be very close actually.

Lucifer Effect
I'll cast all my votes for Lucifer Effect. I finished that book last month, and it's excellent, bringing up important and disturbing aspects of human nature. Also, I'll be very busy for the rest of the year, and there are several other books I'm eager to read.
I read Moral Animal five years ago. It has some interesting ideas, and led me to read several other books about evolutionary psychology. While I'm not inclined to re-read it, I could participate in the discussion.
All of the books sound interesting. How about we discuss the top two suggestions, instead of reading an atheist Freethinker book?
