Misquoting Jesus
Bart D. Ehrman“One of Ehrman's best books. A must-read for anyone interested in biblical research or history.”
Anna Karenina
Leo Tolstoy, Richard Pevear, Larissa Volokhonsky“I read this when I was going through my "classic" phase (when I sought out and read the greatest classic books). A truly remarkable and touching story, one of Tolstoy's best (equal to or...” more »
Animal Farm
George Orwell, Ann Patchett“An amazing piece of political fiction that still has relevance today. Serves as an eternal warning against the corrupting influence of power and politics (the book's about communism but it...” more »
The God Delusion
Richard Dawkins“Not the best atheist book I've read, but still one of Richard Dawkins' best works. Made me ever more convinced of my decision to drop religion from my life!”
The Return of Depression Economics and the Crisis of...
Paul Krugman“Written by one of my favourite economists, Paul Krugman shows exactly what led up to the crash of 2008. He shows how in all previous crisises (outside the US) US officials assumed that such...” more »
Flim-Flam! Psychics, ESP, Unicorns, and Other Delusions
Isaac Asimov, James Randi“The world's greatest skeptic magician, doing what he does best!”
Nineteen Eighty-Four, Centennial Edition
George Orwell, Thomas Pynchon, Erich Fromm, Daniel Lagin“An amazing piece of work, definitely the best distopia book ever made. I especially liked the way it's presented, so that even the reader cannot know the real truth! Does Goldstein (and his...” more »
Helter Skelter
Vincent Bugliosi, Curt Gentry“Everything you need to know about the Manson murders, told from the mouth of one of the greatest (and respectable) lawyers in the world.”
The Grand Design
Stephen Hawking, Leonard Mlodinow“One of the best books I've read so far on the structure of the universe. A must read for any science geek.”
The Lost Symbol
Dan Brown“It was what I expected of Brown's books, although clearly not his best work. Would have been better if he left out all the mystical stuff (especially at the end, which read like a sermon).”
A Colossal Failure of Common Sense
Patrick Robinson, Lawrence G. McDonald“Gave some fascinating insight into the fall of one of the oldest investment banks in the world. I particularly liked the portrayal of Richard Fuld, the egotistical manic of a CEO who...” more »
How Jesus Became Christian
Barrie Wilson“Expands on the disconnect between the early Jesus movement and Pauline Christianity (sort of similar to The Jesus Puzzle by Earl Doherty). It certainly makes the traditional view of the...” more »
Crisis Economics
Stephen Mihm, Nouriel Roubini“A timely and insightful book from one of the most prescient economists of the times. Roubini is one of the economists that I trust most (along with Paul Krugman and Robert Reich) and he...” more »
House Rules
Jodi Picoult“Not the best of Picoult's works but definitely a good read. I sort of figured out the crime halfway into the book (at least the cause of death, not too difficult considering the...” more »
God's Problem
Bart D. Ehrman“Erhman writes a thoroughly compelling book on the problem of evil. It's easy to understand why Erhman lost his faith when confronted with the sheer scale of evil in the world today. He also...” more »
The Empty Tomb
Robert M. Price, Jeffery Jay Lowder“Heard about this book in the documentary The God Who Wasn't There. I personally found the case for a temporary burial the most convincing.”
Reclaiming History
Vincent Bugliosi“In this massive tome, Bugliosi demolishes every single conspiracy theory about the JFK assassination. A truly great and noble effort by a great lawyer.”
The Reason Driven Life
Julia Sweeney, Robert M. Price“Provides a great critique of Warren's The Purpose Driven Life. As always, Price writes with great wit and charm.”
Jesus Lied
CJ Werleman“Even better than his previous book, Werleman puts the gospels on the spot and shows how Jesus was just a human. Covers a lot of ground, with lots of humor.”
The Betrayal of America
Vincent Bugliosi, Gerry Spence“Bugliosi demonstrates clearly how the Supreme Court violated the US Constitution in making GWB president. Rarely is a lawyer so passionate as Bugliosi, a must-read for anyone interested in...” more »
The Moral Landscape
Sam Harris“Sam Harris delivers a compelling case for a science of morality (about time!)”
