The last of Dawkin's books that I have read is <i>River Out of Eden</i>. Yeah, that bit of me is kind of complicated to explain... The 'Canes are fighting for 8th place in the East...trying not to embarrass themselves by missing the playoffs. I haven’t read The God Delusion yet.

Great selections. Interesting to see Crowley and Randi on the same list. I finally got off a TT this week, <a href="http://morehockeylesswar.org/blog/archive/2007/03/01/war_must_end_and_thirteen_imaginings_for_a_better_world/" rel="nofollow">War Must End (and Thirteen Imaginings for a Better World)</a>. What's up with the 'Canes? I haven't been paying any attention to the NHL lately. Apropos your Betrand Russell selection, have you read Richard Dawkins’ The God Delusion?

These are such a treat for me to read each week. Bukowski, Gibson, Burroughs and Russell are always such a pleasure to read. My TT #4 is up too. I'm all about spirals/symbolism this week.

If they were to be included, the pivotal turning point for me would have been when my dad explained the need to "know what you want and don't be suprised if you don't get it".

Interesting picks. I really appreciate your take on O'Connor v. Fitzgerald. My own list would include at least one uncle and both grandfathers, each of whom knew how to teach important concepts to impressionable youth, by word AND deed. Good idea. Interesting picks.
