Adrian gave to: The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason by Sam Harris read in February, 2012	My rating:
Sam Harris is a pretty smart guy and he definitely presents a lot of food for thought in this book. An unexpected highlight was the last chapter on consciousness, I wish I would have read some of that before I tackled The Moral Landscape.

The first half had some interesting blackjack stuff, but then the book just took a nosedive in the last half.
