I'm currently reading another non-fiction, 2000 Years of Disbelief: Famous People with the Courage to Doubt by James A. Haught. It contains a wealth of interesting opinions from famous names of the past 2,000 years who have rejected orthodox religious belief, but many of the references could be better sourced. While original sources are given where known, frequently only other authors of books of quotations is given as the source, and this is unacceptable in my eyes. It's published by Prometheus Books, a publisher that normally sets very strict standards for their authors. Nevertheless, on balance it's a very fascinating work, although before quoting any passages from it I would suggest checking the source first.
