Every Day is an Atheist Holiday! by Penn Jillette
4.0
This was an entertaining book. It reminded me most of Scott Adams' blog-post collection ("Stick to Drawing Cartoons...") with a lot more deep intellectual thinking and f-bombs thrown in.
Penn Gillette very obviously cares deeply about his family, his country, and his beliefs and is perfectly willing to let his feels about all three flop out-there for the world to see (I think he even uses this phrase in the book). The short essay collection covered topics as varied as his son's first steps, being blackmailed, and forming Penn & Teller. Never did he seem to mince words to to be hateful in what he said... instead he was just very clear about his emotions and feelings about a variety of issues, often explaining his reasoning to boot.
Definitely a book to make you think.
