Hello again everyone,

For those of you that were interested or recently started The Greatest Show on Earth, by Richard Dawkins, I figured we would start a discussion on it. Any one that wants to join in and start the read is more than welcome, as well as those who have already read it. (I'm sure Nelson will have some insight for us!)

 

Let me know what you think! Thanks everyone!

 

-Jason!

I'm in for this. I hope we have enough interest to make it fun and informative.
(thanks for the kind words Jason!)
I bought the book  some 8 months ago but haven't read only the first 30-40 pages. Maybe I'll start now.
Thanks Nelson, I'm sure you have more experience than me in starting a discussion of this sort, any pointers you have a long the way are appreciated. I'm going to message a few people that were interested in our last discussion about this too.

let's see....

well. first i guess i'd set out a time line for the discussion. "the first chapter will be read by [insert date] at which point the first chapter will be discussed between [insert dates], followed by the reading of the second chapter by [insert date]...." and so on.

that is, unless you want it to be a "read at your own speed and toss out thoughts in this thread" kind of thing.

make sense?

Hi,

I'm new here, but I'd love to participate in this.  I think it would greatly enhance understanding to have a nice organized and thoughtful discussion about this great book.  I read it a while back, but I'd like to read it again.

 

It would be really nice if we could be in sync on this somehow and have dates for chapters to be completed.  It might also be nice to give a little bit of time to those who have busy lives. :)  Like, a chapter discussion every couple days or something instead of a bunch all at once.

 

Just my newbie thoughts.  

 

Thank you,

Rob

i think that's probably best Rob.

and welcome to the community! :)

Hey Rob,

Glad to see that you're going to join us in the read. I hope the schedule we have discussed will work for you. I look forward to talking with you in the discussion.

 

I am new to this group and I would love to participate in the discussion. I just finished God Delusion and I was thinking what other  Dawkins book to read when I got this email. Must be a "message"

:)) "a message", lol

I have to buy God Delusion too as I'm quite more interested in that one.

 

lol. yes. a message from His Noodliness, The Flying Spaghetti Monster. :)
I would really like to find a good translation of 'His Noodliness' in Romanian, I can't seem to find the right words. :))
lol. well. don't give up hope of finding the right translation some day! :)
