Well, I started reading Darwin, but I got distracted after a few pages (I usually have about half a douzen books I'm reading at the same time and sometimes one slips through )

Since you are more of an expert, I'll take your word on this newest Dawkins book and give him a second chance once I get around to it.
As for other books, I see Gould's name everywhere, what would be a good place to start with his view on things?
And Furuyma, Maynard Smith and Ruse (most of what I know about them is a bit outdated because I only know them from footnotes), are they any good? Some of their works have... challenging titles.
