Just got this today. Jeffery Dahmer grew up only a few miles from me, around the same time. (My high school played his school in sports.) Only a few pages into it, but definitely a creepy book already.

Dawkins is one of my favorite writers certainly. I'll read that Stenger book too.  In the meantime I'm dealing with

This primer is designed to teach students the interconnected arts of visual communication. The subject is presented, not as a foreign language, but as a native one that the student "knows" but cannot yet "read."

 
I still have no idea what that's even about.  Is it something like this?

While at work, I was going to lend a work colleague my copy of James Gleick's Chaos, instead of trying to explain Chaos theory myself (and failing miserably) . Her reply was that she had "no time to read". Having just started Bank's Surface Detail, I am now reading two books. 
 
Is it just me, or does anyone else start one book and get engaged by another?

Not really, though that book certainly looks interesting too! Dondis' book is about this.

The concept makes sense now.  I was never good at describing those sorts of things.  Maybe that book would help...

Interesting story. I've played the game, wondering if they will release a new version? (sorry for the off topic)

I'm a fan of the Dresden Files and currently reading Death Masks but got sidetracked by Game of Thrones on HBO so started reading that series. Slowly getting through A Feast For Crows. I read through the first books of the series in a matter of days but because of the additions of new characters in this book I've spent over a month and I'm barely half way through this book. But I can't wait to get to A Dance with Dragons.

I haven't decided what's next yet.

I've been reading the Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher.  It is about a wizard that lives in the modern day taking on supernatural jobs and I think it is a wonderful read at the moment.
