Idea- Book Reviews

[wolty]

Hey powers that be in reality,
I have an idea after reading wlb's book review.
It would be great if all the book reviews were in one place to make it easier to find on the forums. This could involve a sticky within science and reason or what would be even better would be a permanent topic.

If you build it, they will come so to speak. I am sure we could have a topic with threads on different books, with comments available. Maybe even the god botherers would have a look at "their" books and read the comments from atheists.

I know in my situation, I received "Has science got rid of god" by John Blanchard as a bum birthday present, and would have been happy to do a review on it to put in "Book Reviews"

Ha maybe we could even have a subthread in Fantasy Island for god botherers to put their own reviews in. Just kidding.

I don't think wlb or others would even mind if you moved their threads to the new topic to get it going.

Cheers. Let me know what you think, and others as well.

Holy carp!

I had the same thoughts yesterday. I was wandering around borders looking for something to fuel the fire and just couldn't come to a decision. Then I thought it would be great if there was a reviews section here so I can get some purchasing inspiration.

Coincidence? Or guiding hand from above?

My guess, is guiding hand from below. I like being a heathen.:D

looks like Worldslaziestbusker (http://www.atheistfoundation.org.au/forums/member.php?u=316), has taken your idea on board.

slightly off topic (as its movies) the sydney morning herald has a review of its top 10 worst movies of the year. and i agree 110% with number 1.

1. Knowing
The race for worst film of the year was run and lost in March. Knowing (http://media.smh.com.au/?rid=47390)was the champ/chump, daylight second. Three visually stunning disaster scenes were nowhere near enough to save this monstrous Nicolas Cage catastrophe. By the time we arrived on the alien world (codenamed Eden in post-production) at the end of the film, we had been presented not just with a Christian religious sci-fi message so blunt it made C.S. Lewis look subtle, but with the sort of brainless, mindless, funless blockbuster, that leaves one wondering how anyone who read the script ever thought it should be made into a film.
