What are you reading right now? (possible RotE spoilers)

[Albertosaurus Rex]

Just making a start on the Liveship Traders after finishing the Farseer and Tawny Man trilogies - I'm being careful of spoiler warnings and links in the threads I'm reading right now.

Also just started a re-reading of Dawkin's The God Delusion to keep my braincells ticking over. It really is fascinating stuff, and I love Dawkin's arguments.

Oh, and hello Plenty forums. It's very nice to meet you!

Welcome to the forums, Apricots! May your stay here be... fruitful. In all seriousness though, The God Delusion... now that was certainly a fascinating read, but one thing that kept nagging me was Dawkins' tone throughout the book. One wonders if the book wouldn't have been better with slightly less vitriol. And I have to say that his refutation of the classical arguments for God's existence in chapter three was rather weak. There's so much more to say about those arguments, yet he rushes through them. For example, I do believe that Anselm's ontlogical argument is invalid, but authors like Peter van Inwagen have given a much more thorough and informative analysis of the thing than Dawkins.

However, discussing religion online is a dangerous business that can get out of hand quickly, so I'll now return to a safer subject. I'm currently reading Ray Bradbury's The Illustrated Man at home. A good friend of mine recently recommended it to me, so when I encountered it among the bargains of a local bookstore, I knew I was fated to read it. I'm enjoying it quite a lot.

On the train I'm reading Richard Morgan's controversial fantasy The Steel Remains. Only thirty pages in yet, so not much has happened, but it's a good read so far. Morgan's style keeps me turning the pages.
