The New York Times reported this morning that Christopher Hitchens had died last night. You can read his obituary here: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/16/arts/christopher-hitchens-is-dead-at-62-obituary.html If you like politics, religion (or lack thereof) or just a good argument, then Mr. Hitchins just might be for you. Fortunately, bookshare has a fantastic collection of his books. Check them out, and see what you think.
