Something you have currently finished reading that

It's a little old now...and it's been a while since I read it, but "Rainbow Six" by Tom Clancy is one of my all time favorites.

I looked it up and it is.

The Selfish Gene was one of the most influential books
I ever read. Now that I look back upon it, it was over the
top. But the ideas were astounding. A completely diff. way
of viewing life.

Dawkins is very well known for pricking at religion. He thrives
on it. Climbing Mount Improbable, practically all his books
rake religion.

I did not know he was having another go at it.

I've been reading The Berenstain Bears, good stuff.

Seriously though, the last book I read was Ishmael. That was about a year and a half ago before my kid could walk and talk. Now I'm too tired to read.

If you like the book hockey mentioned,
you may have to add The Blind Watchmaker.

And anyone please add as I am still pondering.
It is also interesting to see what people are interested in
outside of horses.
