I read "The Blind Watchmaker" by Dawkins a while back and enjoyed it....
I am definately going to buy it, although I shall be waiting until it comes out in paper-back, and not because im a scrooge; I just dont like carrying hardbacks around with me on the tram to work.
I read the chapters on morality and then loaned it to a friend. It's pretty interesting in that it introduces moral Zeitgeist and the 'middle-world', both concepts that are pretty useful in a discussion methinks.
I just finished this book.
Dawkins has a witty style of writing and I would think the book could make even a theist laugh at times. He seems sincere, and he warned from the start that he would not tread lightly where the discussion of religion takes place. (Indeed, I get the strong impression that he has a disdain for the 'automatic respect' that is garnered for religion.)
Anyway, this book was rather entertaining for me. I think Dawkins brings up some good points. I would recommend it for anyone that has thought about reading.
Cheers
