So, I'm curious. I've just started reading this book and the beginning is throwing me off a little. I guess it's just the writing style, not what I'm used to. Anyhow, wondering if anyone here has read it. And if it's worth the read.
Twinleaf....it's like two leaves...that match. Amazing.

I have not read it, but I've seen many people suggest it on various forums.

I just finished Breaking the Spell.  Dennett is a little hard to read, but I found the topic worth my effort.  Basically he suggests that there is evidence to support the theory that there are biolgical reasons for humans to invent/believe in
god(s) and that more research is necessary to prove the theory.  

Like I said, I found it worth reading.  Let me know if you decide to forge ahead what you think if/when you finish, twinleaf.
