As Louth is devoid of book shops and a drive into Lincoln or Grimsby didn't appeal, I ordered a few books from Amazon. The order started out as one book -"The Alchemist" but as p&p would have cost as much as the book I ordered a couple more so as to get the free delivery service. Sounds a bit daft but I like to have my money's worth. Like women in a shoe store, don't even try to begin to understand, a pointless exercise. But anyway what else did I order; a serious history book "Alexander The Great" by Robin Lane Fox and "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins. I've been trying to remember where I heard about this last one. Must have been on here, maybe Znethru's blog, so being a devout atheist of long standing I thought I'd give it a whirl. But in the meantime I've started an Asimov collection of short stories - Robot Visions, another book which has been collecting dust since its last reading.

One of the worst experiences of my life was, living with a couple of Born Agains in S. Idaho for several months. So narrow minded, so brain washed, but an eye opening experience.

I still find it very surprising that atheism gets such a negative stereotyping in the US. Found those other vids, by the way:
The Q&A session is excellent -

Thank you, I'm listening to a radio stream from S. Cal. This could be a long term project.

Hey FL! There's some good interviews with Dawkins available as media files here: http://www.reitstoen.com/dawkins.php
I've also seen one where he presented at a Bible belt college but can't find the url, off-hand.
