Book Update

I'm pleased to announce I've finished the sixth chapter of my book, which lays out the case for atheism as a positive worldview. This chapter draws on my essay "Life of Wonder" on Ebon Musings and from several posts from the Garden here on Daylight Atheism.

I think you all know the drill by now. Who's interested in reading it?

It may take me a little while to get to it, but I'd very much like to. ^.^

Oh, goody. I've been looking forward to this half. Please count me in.

I second Lynet's comment, I think the chapters like these are going to be the best.

Wow, I'd love to read it. Do you have any idea when you think your book will be done?

I'm interested in your biography and real name. Are you a "well-known" previously published skeptic or atheist? May I find you under your real name in Amazon?

As with the previous chapter, I'd like to read this one too. I always make time to read great cases for the positives of atheism, no matter the things to do the day I read.

Me too! :)

Even though I don't know the difference between Marx and Nietsche (although I do know that E=mc^2 so everyone thinks I understand relativity), I think I could bring a criticial eye to bear on your book project. That plus an aversion to people claiming to know "the Truth". GD

Send me one too, please! :D

Having read most of Ebonmusings and most of the posts here, I think I'll pass. No offense, because I'd love to read it, but I think I'm going to wait to buy the book, so I can savor it all in one pass.

Yes, I definitely want to read chapter 6. You're making great progress.

Sure, I'm game. I haven't done any previous chapters, but I'd love to start.

Not being a published author even in my life-long field of expertise, which was management science, I cannot have the temerity to pass comments on books-in-the-making. However, I certainly would enjoy reading the draft copy of the latest chapter.

Which is why I stopped asking to review it after the first few chapters :)

I'm interested in your biography and real name.

A look around the site, and possibly on Ebon Musings, should reveal his name. It's not like Adam makes a secret out of it ;) I don't remember what his last name is, but it's been mentioned a few times, usually in reference to being interviewed or appearing on a podcast I think.

Ahh, here, I did the work for you and found an article he wrote for Freethought Today (or is that just a post from here that got reused there?) with the help of a brief mention in this comment that he had written for that website. (Though I did get to cheat a little, as I already knew his first name, but that would have been really easy to figure out from various comments anyway).

Count me in!

I would like to read it--is a comment here all that's required? Are you interested in feedback?

I'd love to read it, but I think I'll wait for the book. This way, I can read all at once. Can't wait.

At this time, I'm only sending out chapters of my book to regular commenters on this site. Of course, if you're a lurker or first-time poster, it's never too late to become a regular commenter.
