What I'm reading now:
The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark  (Listening to the audio version. Excellent!)
Idlewild  (Very interesting, quite different. Written by Carl Sagan's son, Nick)
Atheist Universe: The Thinking Person's Answer to Christian Fundamentalism  (my favorite atheist book so far)
What I just finished: You Suck: A Love Story  (It made me LOL)Bloodsucking Fiends: A Love Story  (It sucked me in. Fun and funny.)The City of Ember  (movie was much better)His Dark Materials Trilogy (The Golden Compass; The Subtle Knife; The Amber Spyglass)  (best trilogy I've ever read!)
The Heathen's Guide to World Religions (witty and informative) What I'm waiting for, or what's waiting on my nightstand: Microcosm: E. Coli and the New Science of Life (Vintage) 
The Day of the Triffids 
Great Stuff I Watched Recently: War, Inc.  (very clever satire from the headlines. cynical but funny)
Taken  (gritty, violent, excellent retribution!)
The Day of the Triffids  (BBC series. Good acting, 80's low budget effects)
City of Ember (DVD)  (good movie, much better than the book)
