Blog book tagging – What are you reading?

It’s a little game played in the blogsphere where you tag another blogger. Well, arcaner just tagged this joggler, so here goes.

According to the ‘tag’ I’m supposed to do the following.

1. Find the nearest book.
2. Name the book & the author.
3. Turn to page 123.
4. Go to the fifth sentence on the page. Copy out the next three sentences and post to your blog.
5. Tag three more folks.

The nearest book is called The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins. He’s most famous for another book called The Selfish Gene which I read back when I was in college. Great book. And this latest one is pretty good too.

“Darwin’s fulsomely free confession turned out to be a rhetorical device. He was drawing his opponents towards him so that his punch, when it came, struck the harder. The punch, of course, was Darwin’s effortless explanation of exactly how the eye evolved by gradual degrees.”

It’s a good book and may make you look at the world a little different. Be warned, it may also make some people mad. But it will certainly make you think. It may even make you want to joggle.

There are other jugglers that think about God and evolution. Check out what Vova had to say.

Now, who can I tag? Let’s try Karyn, Lisa, and Ed.
