As for my latest reading list the books which have lately had the biggest impact on me were
"Flat Earth"- Christine Harwood
"Galileo goes to Jail; and other myths about science and religion"- compiled by Ronald L Numbers.
"Biology and Ideology: from Descarte to Dawkins" compiled by Denis Alexander and Ronald L Numbers.
Definitely read "Biology and Ideology" when you get the chance. Every essay in it I have read has been a treat (Though Number's entry was mostly an excerpt from his Opus Dei "The Creationists").
A lot of the more "trash-talking" atheists (and of course creationists) could stand to read it too.
It has 13 Essays in all, out of which I have read:
#2 "Biology, Atheism and Politics in late 18th Century France": Shirley A. Roe
#5 "Race, Empire and Biology Before Darwinism" Sujit Sivasundaram
#6 "Darwin's Choice" Nicholas Rupke
#7 "Biology and the Emergence of the AngloAmerican Eugenics Movement" Edward J Larson
#8 "Genetics, Eugenics and the Holocaust" Paul Weindling
#9 "Darwinism, Marxism and Genetics in the Soviet Union" Nikolai Krementsov
#10 "Evolution and the Idea of Social Progress" Michael Ruse (another author who never fails to disappoint)
#12 "Creationism, Intelligent Deisign and Modern Biology" Ronald L Numbers
#13 "The Ideological Uses of Evolutionary Biology in Recent Atheist Apologetics" Alistair McGrath
