Professor Richard Dawkins

Richard Dawkins is a pleasure to read. It is hard to imagine a more clear-headed thinker. When I heard about his book The God Delusion, I was enthusiastic to say the least. There are few books I have looked forward to reading more. But one I can name is The Conspiracy Against the Human Race by Thomas Ligotti.

The above quote by Dawkins reminds me of H.L. Mencken's Graveyard of the Gods:
