Looking to read a Sam Harris book, any recommendations?
I've watched a bunch of videos of Harris (whether it be a lecture, debate, conversation, Q+A, etc.), and I like his choice of words and his style of speech. I know he has a bunch of books, I just don't where to start. Same goes for anyone in a similar realm that anyone could suggest; Hitchens, Dennett, Dawkins, Russell, and so on. Thank you.

Most people start with Harris' most well-known book, The Moral Landscape. Personally I recommend people begin with Carl Sagan's old book The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark as it doesn't attack religion specifically but examines why we're so unskeptical and what we can do about it.
Sagan, of course. I've always admired him, as well as his work with Cosmos.
Letters to a Christian Nation and The End of Faith are both pretty good reads.
