After reading Letter to a Christian Nation, I recommended that my book club read The End of Faith. This turned out to be a bad move. Where Letter is terse, polished, and hard to argue with, Faith is a pedantic mess. Harris makes most of the same points in both books, but this one is dull and unconvincing, especially at the end where Harris seems to be arguing that the whole world should convert to Buddhism.

Read Letter to a Christian Nation, but skip this one.
