What are you reading?

Right now, I'm working on god is Not Great - How Religion Poisons Everything.

Anyone else reading this one? Something else?

I think my next atheist read will be Adams vs. God: The Rematch (Phillip Adams being a well-known mad leftie broadcaster here in Australia).; ▶ Reply to This
