Instead of reading two Christopher Hitchens books at the same time, I opted for reading Sam Harris' The End of Faith instead. I have to say, so far, its probably the best book I've read all year. Its better than Dawkin's The God Delusion and is extremely easy to absorb due to Harris' straightforward and entertaining style. Watch Sam Harris absolutely destroy William Lane Craig in this classic debate. He manages to make William Lane Craig look like a theological/moralistic nincompoop, which is actually hard to do. Out of the many christian apologists, Craig is one of the few cognizant debaters. Edit: I would also add that Craig tends to cling to one unfalsifiable proposition usually extracted from the main debate point. He defends this one proposition until the end, claiming victory when his opponent is unable to counter it, yet failing to make any meaningful counter-arguments.
