Hi all! I know you have been waiting on pins and needles for this moment, so here it is...

the first book...

winner by one point...

is...

The God Delusion, by Richard Dawkins!


I dunno exactly how to split this up. I know no matter how I do it, it will be too much for some and not enough for another...so I'm gonna go by chapter. Please give me some feedback on the amounts if you'd like.

The first section for discussion will be the Preface and Chapter 1, which will open next Sunday.

I can't wait to see how this all plays out!!

Time to re-read it again, I suppose. :)

Having the audio version on my iPod makes it easy.
Could we hit you up for that audio file Dave G?
I'll have to check to make sure it's the DRM-less version.
Hah, yeah. I had started with the audio version too. Now I can't read a word in the book without it being in that charming, British man's voice.
lol. but doesn't Lala, his wife, also read some of it as well? i'm not especially fond of her voice.
at any rate, i can't do audio books. i zone out and begin thinking of other things as the audio fades out into the background. i have to actually read a book to absorb it properly.
I zone out too. My husband and I have been listening to The God Delusion on long car trips, but I haven't been getting as much out of it as I did the last time that I read it. This time though I am reading it off my computer and enjoying just copying/pasting parts that I would like to discuss on Sunday :)
Yeah, she does read some parts and it does get kind of annoying. Plus he reads the book at a slightly slower pace then I would. I guess all the emphasis, perfect enunciation and dramatic pauses add to the overall length of the audio. I also hate, pausing and rewinding if I missed something. I tried reading and audio at the same time and all I could think of those read along books with the chimes to turn the page from 1st grade, lol. I'll stick with the pdf for now.
I managed to find the audio version on isohunt.com
Downloading it now. Not sure what it's like, but it's there :)
Great place to start. I am looking forward to picking it up again!
ooh-->count me in!

great choice for a first book.
Great first book
