Book recommendations

Hi all...

I'm looking for an easy summer read, something that will keep my interest, humor is a plus. Here is a list of what I've read so far in the genre...

Letter To A Christian Nation - Sam Harris

The End Of Faith - Sam Harris

The God Delusion - Richard Dawkins

Atheist Universe - David Mills

The Dark Side Of Christian History - Helen Ellerbe

Ken's Guide To The Bible - Ken Smith

The Quotable Atheist - Jack Huberman

The Book Your Church Doesn't Want You To Read - Editor, Tim C. Leedom

The Born Again Skeptic's Guide To The Bible - Ruth Hurmence Green

I've heard that "The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster" is pretty good, any suggestions? Keep in mind, I have a fairly short attention span.

If we're moving outside of

If we're moving outside of atheist books, then the complete short stories of Truman Capote is a must. Many of Edgar Allen Poe's short stories are great, too.

George Orwell

George Orwell's 1984 is the one that I always hear people talk about,and they never even heard of probably the best book he wrote (in my opinion) "Hommage To Catalonia"

Signature ? How ?
