    Columbine by Dave Cullen. As a high school teacher, I find it interesting but sad at the same time.

    Little did I know, but these two guys brought along with them propane and gasoline tanks into the school, set to timers. The timers inside the school did not go off. They expected to kill 500+ students during their lunch time. Thank God the timers didn't work and the bombs did not go off.
    Hockey Pools? Too many to mention. Points only, salary cap and dynasty.

    Which book by Sam Harris? I wouldn't mind checking it out.

    I'm not saying I didn't like the book (God Delusion), just that he lived up to his reputation ...haha. I must say though, for a bright guy he gets very emotional in his rhetoric, which is sort of the MO of the side he is opposing.

    Of his work I've read The End of Faith and Letters to a Christian Nation. I enjoyed them, but then again, I'm a pretty staunch atheist, so...
    GO WINGS!

    Dawkins comes across as a Grade A jackass, but makes some good points. Not too much new in it, but I can see the draw. Interesting read for those who like those kinds of books.
    God placed Dawkins on this earth to piss the religious right off

    er, wait...

    I'll see if the library has them here. Thanks for the suggestions.
