I noticed with interest at the weekend that Richard Dawkins has entered the Sunday Times book chart in 1st place. I look forward to reading his new book.
I'm a big fan of Dawkins. It's through Dawkins that I've come to understand the theory of evolution by natural selection and let go of daft beliefs in some sort of sky-fairy. I was raised in a very religious family and even though I considered myself rather intelligent (the large amount of alcohol since then has diminished that unfortunately...come to uni...kill brain cells...) I actually believed in a lot of that nonsense. Biology wasn't my favourite science (I was a bit of geek - Physics was my preferred choice) so I never made the effort to understand evolution.
Until I read the God Delusion, which turned me from a doubting christian into a rational human being. After that I have been reading more of Dawkins' books and consider him to be an excellent teacher and writer.
This world is in need of more rational thinking and I hope his new book is read by many.
