Re: Interview with Richard Dawkins on Fairy Tales and Retirement
Daniel Radcliffe would be a perfect casting choice for a young Richard Dawkins.

As much as I admire Dawkins, a childrens book by him would be boring as hell, I wager.

Re: Interview with Richard Dawkins on Fairy Tales and Retirement
I don't think so. Any book that starts with
In the beginning, there was pea soup, and then, one night, lightning struck the pea soup, and from that moment onward to about 500 million years later the soup wriggled with little one-celled creatures -- very much like the stuff that can be found in your testicles if you slice them in half, unless you haven't yet reached puberty (and very much like your ovaries, girls).
can't be bad, can it? Of course, it's a run-on sentence, but who cares, what with Dawkins's name on the cover?
Chapter 2: The Evil Wizard Who Stole Ovaries
As a matter of fact, I think Dawkins would be willing to collaborate with me.

Re: Interview with Richard Dawkins on Fairy Tales and Retirement
He's too pretensions. Brilliant yes but I can barely stomach his reading for adults.
Re: Interview with Richard Dawkins on Fairy Tales and Retirement
Pretentious u mean?
Re: Interview with Richard Dawkins on Fairy Tales and Retirement
I've read a couple of his books and I found them all to be quite enjoyable reads, as well as informative and educational. Pretentious is not something I would ever describe Mr. Dawkins as - brilliant, passionate, illuminating... those are much better describers.
