The wonderful Julia Sweeney

I've been meaning to read Richard Dawkins' new book: The God Delusion. I'm a big Dawkins fan. I know Lee has read it (or is reading it), but recreational reading tends to go out the window for me when uni is in full swing.

But, in the interim I went and bought this audio book (actually, it is more of a recorded monologue); Dawkins mentioned it briefly in a youtube video i watched. It's written and performed by Julia Sweeney:

Julia Sweeney::Letting Go of God

I bought it on iTunes, and listened to it in one go. It made quite an impression. It is very funny, very poignant, and very intelligent. Sweeney uses autobiography as well as Dawkins uses rhetoric
