Richard Dawkins: The Blind Watchmaker

Post by A P Bullard »

I recently borrowed this book, and almost finished it in one setting. It was incredibly engrossing, fascinating, and well-written. It had just the write amount of humor and snark, and his passion for science and evolution is infectious. I immediately went out and got two more (all I could find at the used bookstore) of his books. I plan to eventually own all of his works. In due time, in due time.

Is anyone else here a fan of Richard Dawkins?

I've read several of his books: The Blind Watchmaker, The Selfish Gene, and The God Delusion.

His books are certainly as interesting as they are controversial. I would recommend both of the other books I mention above if you have plans to read more of his work.

I have read all of those, but thank you for the suggestions.

They are highly interesting, though it's perplexing that they are considered controversial. Fact is fact.
(But, that is for an entirely different sort of forum discussion.)
