In the tradition of Bertrand Russell's Why I Am Not a Christian and Sam Harris's bestseller, The End of Faith, Christopher Hitchens makes the ultimate caseagainst religion. With a close and erudite reading of the major religious texts, he documents the ways in which religion is a man-made wish, a cause of dangerous sexual repression, and a distortion of our origins in the cosmos. With eloquent clarity, Hitchens frames the argument for a more secular life based on science and reason, in which hell is replaced by the Hubble Telescope's awesome view of the universe, and Moses and the burning bush give way to the beauty and symmetry of the double helix.

Was growing up a bad idea? Like any other middle-schooler, Wimpy Kid Greg Heffley wished that he could speed up the process of getting older. What he didn't anticipate was all the changes and responsibilities that came with it. And why didn't anyone warn him about the possible pratfalls of boy-girl parties? Jeff Kinney's new Diary of a Wimpy Kid saga will touch the soul of every self-conscious youngster, which is to say every youngster.

Leaving the Bellweathers by Kristin Clark Venuti Not being active bloggers, we realized that most of the posts were the 'bestsellers of the week'. I think that once a month might work better for me...
I loved this book. I bought my copy the day we had Kristin in for the booksigning and really wished that I had had it read before she got here so I could tell her how fab it is. (well, I'm sure she knows...) Anyway, highly recommended for your 8-12 year old.
BTW! We still have 2 autographed copies left on the shelf...hurry in before they're both gone!
