Richard Dawkins, A Devil's Chaplain: Reflections on Hope, Lies, Science, and Love

I'm always up for Dawkins. This looks great, Dexter.

I think it would be great to get a few people to read and discuss Thoreau's Civil Disobedience as well, but perhaps not as the non-fiction book selection since it's just a single essay, only 26 pages long. we can just create a separate thread and discuss it anytime.

I'm liking the idea of A Devil's Chaplain too.

I'm not sure why the non-fiction book suggestions were so few this time, but we only had two books suggested by people with over 25 posts. And since one of the two books had almost unanimous support I'm going to just announce "A Devil's Chaplain" as the April and May 2011 Non-Fiction book.

I think you guys are going to be happy with a bunch of things I'm working on behind the scenes right now. hey are all designed to dramatically increase traffic, which will result in more participants in our book discussions.

Oh, and thank you for this suggestion, Dexter!
