I'll break the fiction trend:

One thing though A Short History of Nearly Everything is a very good general interest book ou ...[text shortened]... ng not to get caught.

I just read 'The God Delusion' by Dawkins - excellent book. Carl Sagan's book 'The Deamon Haunted World' is good too.

The God Delusion is high on my list of books to look out for and get. I tried reading the ancestors tale but didn't get on with it a fraction as well as I did with TSG.
