Trust me. LOL!!!<br /><br />Penny: Glad you enjoyed the links. I loved that yew tree one and might buy the book it comes from.<br /><br />Margaret: I was hoping there would be a fair bit about his views on religion in this but realised quite early on that the book was more about his childhood. There was some but not a lot. I have one of his books of essays which may prove more interesting in that respect. I'd also like to read The God Delusion.<br /><br />Nan: Some of these books that dwell on events in the world wars are truly terrible. I'll look into Stranger in the House. I remember Foyle's War dealing with that issue in one its episodes.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-86987701823111907732015-11-02T02:05:41.755+00:002015-11-02T02:05:41.755+00:00I wouldn't be able to read the WW 2 book.

It is called Stranger in the House by Julie Summers, filled with actual memories of what life was like in English families after the soldiers came home. It is wonderful.

I've read some of Dawkins' earlier books and found the science bits interesting but prefer his books about religion/atheism. So I'll look for his autobio in the library rather than buying them. I'm looking forward to reading Lolly Willowes.BooksPleasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08721650104596705715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-1115011619902761472015-11-01T15:48:55.301+00:002015-11-01T15:48:55.301+00:00Well now, Cath, I've just spent an interesting...Well now, Cath, I've just spent an interesting bit of time checking out your links and books. <br /><br />The yew tree article was fascinating for me, as was the one about the Nazi breeding program, though, of course, in a much different way. I knew of the program, but, not from such an intimate account.

Glad you decided to sample the Lacey Flint books. I really like them. I wish more of them were available as audiobooks. I'd like to re-read them that way.
