Brain Pickings puts out a decent list of books for years end, but spoil it by including rubbish peddled by Sam Harris.

For a critique on the tantrum posing as a movement, read Atheist Delusions: The Christian Revolution and Its Fashionable Enemies by David Bentley Hart. A good debate is always appreciated, but it helps if the opponent doesn’t rely on building straw men and little else.

Tiny rant over.

That being said, to see Werner Herzog heading this list with A Guide For The Perplexed pleases me to no end.

Nice save, Ms. Popova.
