Carl Sagan's book
I have the book "The Varieties of Scientific Experience - A Personal Search for God". I think I have the title correct, although I don't have it in front of me. It was edited by Ann Druyan, his wife, and was based on a series of Gifford Lectures he gave around 1985. I have yet to read much of it though, because I am currently reading several other books by Sagan/Druyan, including Pale Blue Dot, Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors, and Dragons of Eden.
A recent Skeptic magazine issue (not the current one) had an excerpt from the "Varieties...." book, which was great reading. I'm looking forward to reading the book.
