Leters to a Christian Nation by Sam Harris is short, brilliant and free (if you google around enough)

Dawkins was actually quite famous before his Delusions after he published what I still think is one of the most influencial and readable books on evolution - The Selfish Gene. I'm sure I've seen it free somewhere on line too. (Possibly illegally.)

And, of course, Origin of Species is also a free download. (Although, I'm ashamed to say I've never read it.......)

The God delusion exceeds my expections a bit. Maybe it's because atheists don't refer to it often

You know what, that's a startlingly good point. I don't think I've ever seen a atheist quote from it. And yet I've often seen believers say it's our bible.

(Atheists don't quote from it because there's absolutely nothing in it that most of them haven't heard before - it's just all in one place and in a readable form. Believers, I suspect, have never seen the other side, so find it all new and intimidating.)

Edited by Tangle, : Grrr - bloody quote vs qs. Again
