Subject: RE: BS: Books-What have people been reading recently?
Just finished The Life and Death of St Kilda - Tom Steel - the story of a remote island off the Outer Hebrides, its people and the loss of their way of life as travel to the island became easier.

It was a fascinating look at a completely different way of life, one shaped over may years by the coming of religion and one that was still, in many ways, tied the the feudal system as late as the 19th century.

Just started The God Delusion, by Richard Dawkins.
