1: Annotated Atheist's Guide
Another vote for five stars. Laughed out loud. Very brief well-chosen selections serve as a guide to the primary sources. Donate a copy to the school library.

2: Entertaining read; poor reference book
I read this e-book cover to cover, highlighted many quotes, and annotated several. It truly is potential ammunition for non-theists, as the subtitle says--against proselytizers and fundamentalists of all stripes.
I say it is a "poor reference," because it does not have a table of contents. And--this is a criticism of Kindle more than this particular book--even highlighted entries are not organizable--or attributable (that is, highlight a particularly pithy quote or section thereof, and the only source saved with the comment is the book, not the actual author).
That being said, I feel it was a good use of $10.00 and I will continue to peruse it (although not refer to it) for some time to come.

3: The Quotable Atheist
Ammunition for Nonbelievers is a great discription for this collection of short quotes and quips. If you've ever been tired of or have gotten a bit "out of sorts" with bible thumpers, door knockers, phone ringers, and pseuedo soul savers, who have that "in your face" attitude, here's your book of "comebacks". Be forewarned that you are sure to be labeled as a hell-bound sacrilege by any religious institution with whom you elect to "unload" any quantity of the quality contained within these pages. If you've ever simply wanted to "stir the pot" then this makes an excellent ladle to accomplish your endeavors:-)
Thank You, Don Ward

4: reminds me some people are sane
about 50% quotes, 50% biography/perspective, 5% tongue in cheek comments. In an age where so many intuit god, angels, devils, grace, sin it's nice to remember how many people have been declaring bunk for a long time. Only reason I put it down is to save some for later. Cheers.

5: Great for browsing anytime
This is a great little book. One can pick it up from time to time, flip to any page and find a funny or enlightening quote.
It also reminds readers that many prominent people throughout history have been nonbelievers.
