on certainty : Wittgenstein"
I'm just a novice, but I have two titles on the way, and Moore is online.
i just stopped believing in god, and now I feel like Michael Corleone, I'm being pulled back in. haha!
I know Rorty is an unbeliever, so that's good.
I've started reading Either/Or, and I can see where Soren is going, but I'm sure I will love it.
but I'm down with the choices, as I'm here to learn.
Yeah, I could be interested in the books listed, except for Plantinga. To me, that thesis is absurd. I can't guarantee I will read the others, but I'm generally interested in them and will likely make the attempt when you read them. Moore is online? Nice! I'm trying to not buy any books for a year! I'm about one month in, so far so good!

Trying not to buy any books for a year - good luck!
If I can go one week I'll be making progress.

Awesome, thanks Gary! Not too long, either, maybe I'll read it soon! I know, I'm like that, too, buying books weekly, albeit for 50 cents or a dollar, but I gotta focus on the books I already have, otherwise it'll be a waste. I am making good use of the library, though; I just have to turn a blind eye to their book sales!

Yeah, no doubt it's interesting and thought provoking, I just personally don't have enough interest in the thesis to care about what he has to say on the topic. Unless you all read it and recommend it afterward for reasons I find interesting. Which do you think we'll read first? And, starting in Sept?
