Anyone on OffTopic read books?
Some of the books I'm going to read this month:
. The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason by Sam Harris
. A Universe from Nothing: Why There Is Something Rather than Nothing by Lawrence M. Krauss
. A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson
. Mortality by Christopher Hitchens(currently reading)
If anyone has any suggestions on what to read tell me. I like history, philosophy, and science books mainly. And some fantasy every now and then.

Lewis[/b][/u] Lewis might not be your cup of tea judging by your current selection, but this is one of his more secular novels. It's a retro sci-fi tale that is surprisingly philosophical. Lewis does a great job exploring the nature of man. [b][u]World War Z by Max Brooks[/u][/b] Not "deep," but a fun read and probably the most plausible interpretation of a worldwide zombie apocalypse I've ever seen. It also explores the idea of how humans handle crisis.
