Every reasonable human is an atheists. I am never bored reading Christopher Hitchens books. Who is your favorite author?
I have many favorite authors. Most won the Pulitzer Prize.
Amy Bloom, Annie Proulx, Jhumpa Lahiri, Isabel Allende, Toni Morrison, Anne Tyler, Julia Glass, David Sedaris, Anna Quindlen, Mary Lawson, Barbara Kingsolver, Ann Patchett and more.
Listening to Juliaβs podcast days ago

Welcome to the site!
@flyingsaucesir Wow! You have got a great picks. Loren eiseley, Williams Faulkner and Elizabeth kolbert are my fav. I enjoy reading βThe man who saw through timeβ by Loren.
@Liam991 Dang, you don't find many people who can handle Faulkner, or even know about Eiseley! Good on you! Here's another one I forgot to mention: Farley Mowat.
Excellent list!
Maybe I am the odd one here, but being an atheist is not a belief in something. Atheism is an absence of belief. As an absence, there is nothing to read or study about. π«€
Oh haha! @switchcraft I kinda disagree with your statement on nothing to read about. I have always try to keep an open mind for a convincing argument either ways and perhaps I feel there is always something to read about as an atheist
@Liam991 when you get to my age, it's a process you have already been through. To continue would be to go around in circles.
@Switchcraft while going in same circle generally seems unproductive, Iβd think there can be a situation where revisiting a process or cycle is necessary for reflection, learning, or finding new perspectives. Itβd be my pleasure if you would take me through your life experience anyway
@Switchcraft That.
