Hey all, I'm currently reading Nailed: Ten Christian Myths That Show Jesus Never Existed at All by David Fitzgerald. Loving it so far. I'm hoping that one day I can put what I'm learnming from this book to good use and deconvert some of my religious friends.

Hi everyone!

I am the communications associate for the American Humanist Association and my job includes duties with Humanist Press, our publishing house and a place where we are placing a renewed focus.

As part of the effort, we have several new titles lined up and I am interested in hearing from any of you who do regular book reviews. If Humanist Press books appeal to you, please contact me directly with a sentence about where you normally post your reviews. My email is bmagee@americanhumanist.org

Thanks!

Cool - I will check those book recommendations out!

Another plug for Will Self. This time "Liver", 4 novellas of varying length about that particular organ and touching on drink, drugs, asissted suicide, miracle cures and a modern Prometheus. Read in under 24 hours!

Just read Brendan Behan's "Borstal Boy". Lots of sentimental Irish nationalism and Catholicism but also a description of a suprisingly enlightened juvenile penal system in the years 1941-43. Enjoyed it and can recommend it.

I'll put those on my wish list at Amazon - they sound really interesting!

I'd like to recommend to everyone Robert J. Sawyer's outstanding WWW Trilogy--WWW: Wake, WWW: Watch, and WWW: Wonder. (It's easy to remember which one to read when--just read them in alphabetical order.) The books are well-written and almost impossible to put down. Not only are the main characters interesting, they're people you'd like to have as friends. They express values that I believe are common to just about all non-theists. The first book was a Hugo nominee last year. The second book won the Prix Aurora this year for best English-language Canadian SF novel. And I'm confident the third book will do just as well. It's some of the best science fiction I've read in a long time.

There's a brand new look to my Parsina Press web site--not just a new color scheme and a more streamlined appearance, but new features as well: a wider choice of buy-links, images of past book covers, reviews, a lot more information.

Plus, to celebrate the redesign, I've got a special limited-time offer for my fans: many of my prime ebook titles are 1/2 off with the coupon codes on this page. Some of the books, like And Not Make Dreams Your Master, Polly!, and Assault on the Gods, will definitely appeal to free-thinkers. There's even a bonbon--a free copy of my story "The World Where Wishes Worked." The coupons expire at the end of the year, so I hope you'll come on over soon and take a look around. Let me know what you think, and pleasant reading!

Has anyone read Shantaram?  Just read it and enjoyed it very much.  Highly recommended!
