To start with, the whole point of this book is to explain that God does not exist. Not just the Christian God that most Americans favor, but any God (or Gods) from any religion from anywhere in the world or throughout history. If that notion offends you, well I'm not going to say you shouldn't read this book, but just don't be surprised if it makes you more than a little angry. Alternatively, it presents such a powerful argument for the case against God, that you shouldn't be surprised if it has you questioning, or even renouncing, your current beliefs. Mr. Dawkins is a great writer who easily sustained my attention throughout (most of the time) and largely managed to keep a book about such a hot button topic among many feeling relatively friendly and conversational. That's not to say there aren't a few passages that seem more that a little angry, but that's too be expected given the subject matter. Unfortunately, the sections that are largely devoted to science can be a little bit too dry, but luckily they pass fairly quickly. Not a perfect book, but certainly a very interesting one, that will likely continue to anger some people for many years to come.

I received an ebook copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This book had so much possibility however; I found myself getting confused during many parts of the story because the author themselves seemed confused when writing. I was completely thrown off by the fact that though her father sexually abused her she was more angry at her mother. This book was in need of proofreading before it went to print. A few typographical errors is one thing but this book seemed to be plagued by many. The book cover is absolutely beautiful. I don't recommend this book to any one.

Easy to understand / appreciate science (1 more)
Mix of comedy and science
This podcast, presented by Prof Brian Cox (he of the lovely hair and "isn't everything brilliant" attitude) teams up with angry comedian Robin Ince to present this BBC Radio 4 science podcast looking at the scientific discussions of the day, with guests representing differing viewpoints. Brian's engaging, accessible descriptions of the science involved meet Robin's layman's understanding (though I think he has a better understanding of things than he lets on) and deliver a good, understandable debate on why things matter and why we should be more interested in science.

This is a documentary about identical twin brothers Alex and Marcus. Alex had an accident and completely lost his memory, and only recognised Marcus. Marcus helped Alex with his lost memories, unfortunately many of these memories were false and the lies were kept up for years. It may sound like a huge betrayal but when you watch you will understand why. Without spoiling it i went through many emotions, happy at first but as the story progressed i felt shocked and even angry at Marcus but by the end i just felt sad. It's worth a watch but prepare for the emotional rollercoaster.

Little update, so I know that "Films That I Missed in 2019" won for my poll recently. Unfortunately, their are films that recently came out on dvd, that have a long holding list for the library system that I use. Plus not everything for 2019 is out yet on dvd, their are films in December that I wanted to see and Didnt. That I wanted to see, so i have to push it back until September. Hopefully you guys are not upset/mad/angry with me. So for next month I'm doing "More Classic Disney Animation Films".

-Matthew.

"This is about an East German singer who has a botched sex-change operation and is left with an “angry inch” of flesh between her legs. Moving to the US, she gets involved with another singer, who steals her songs and becomes famous, while Hedwig, played by the director John Cameron Mitchell, ends up playing in a chain of seafood restaurants called Bilgewater’s. It’s a beautiful film that touches on Greek mythology and the origins of love, as well as gender identity. It’s a lot of fun too – a comedy with a serious message. And the songs are great."
