It's called the Public Library.

There's also the idea that we should reward authors for their efforts in providing the book in the first place.

I'm really happy to have found this site and it's already been challenging my thoughts about how theists and non-theists can interact. I look forward to being part of these discussions. :-) Thanks, Richard, Sheri and Jeff!

My copy of TGD, which has been on my shelf for six months or more (I don't recall exactly how long i have had it), is paperback, not hardcover. I assume you mean "will be released in the US" . Hmm.

Sarah,

This blog is a good one to freely correspond with both atheists and theists who share the belief that the world would be a better place if both groups can understand each other better.

I'm afraid to tell my fundamentalist family that I am an atheist because for so many years I was one of "them." So here I am, 42 years old, and feeling very cowardly. You are way ahead of me!

I have learned a lot and grown a lot by hanging around here. There are several "regulars" who have had very similar experiences and who face similar challenges, such as their evangelical families.
