Prey
Preyis a thriller, well constructed and fun to read, like Michael Crichton's other books. The book echoes strongly of some of Crichton's other books, like "Andromeda Strain" and "Timeline", and despite getting off to a great start with the engrossing opening chapters, the story begins to unravel as it rockets along.
Common Sense Philosophy In the first century BC the Roman statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero claimed “There is no statement so absurd that no philosopher will make it”. Indeed, in the history of Western thought, philosophers have rarely been credited with having much common sense. In the 17th century Francis Bacon made the point rather poetically and wrote “Philosophers make imaginary laws for imaginary commonwealths, and their discourses are as the stars, which give little light because they are so high”.

The God Delusion
read by Richard Dawkins and Lalla Ward
Dawkins turns his considerable intellect on religion, denouncing its faulty logic and the suffering it causes. He critiques God in all his forms, from the sex-obsessed tyrant of the Old Testament to the more benign (but still illogical) Celestial Watchmaker favored by some Enlightenment thinkers. He eviscerates the major arguments for religion and demonstrates the supreme improbability of a supreme being. Initially posted 2007-05-15

Influential work of popular science written and read by one of the world's leading scientists and science writers.
In this
audio book based on his number one bestselling book, Dawkins presents a closely argued and intellectually exhilarating case for his radical Darwinian view of life on Earth and the place of human beings on it. Those who know his earlier works will find much additional material to savour here; those who have not yet discovered Dawkins passion for science will find this an ideal introduction to his work. 2007-08-14
