Waking Up

I didn't expect to like this book and I was right so no surprises there :-). Sam Harris is the suicide bomber of atheists. So dogmatic and such a fundamentalist that his hyperbole and disrespect for others knows no bounds. The irony of this is he sees himself as the epitome of rationality. I think he obviously had a very troubled childhood as his vitriol for anyone different than him is truly a holy crusade for him. He doesn't stand for anything so much as he stands against anything he hasn't experienced in his own life or can't imagine. In short Sam Harris is a dick and this book is best left as material for him and his psychotherapist to sift through.
