I just discovered a new web site called Shelfari which allows you to maintain different lists of books which matter to you. They offer a general shelf, top 10 list, and current reading list. You can also participate in discussions about books. It looks like a cool site.
My general shelf is shown below.

Heh...for a minute I thought it was a joke. Took quite a while to load here. :-)
Dawkins is awesome. I just finished the Ancestor's Tale a week or so ago. That was a long slog, but oh, so worth it.
[Forgive the typing (though I may have caught all the errors by the time I post this). I pulled back the nail on my right index finger just a little playing volleyball tonight, and it's playing hell with my touch typing!]
I think Shelfari is probably getting more traffic than they can handle at the moment. It's a good problem to have if they can survive the surge.
Yep, I've liked all the Dawkins' books I've read. I haven't read the Ancestor's Tale but the Blind Watchmaker was great. I've got the God Delusion on my reading stack and will get to it someday. Dawkins is also a fascinating speaker. I'd rate him up near Feynman for being able to explain complicated topics to laypeople.
