wow! Dawkins is great . I read a couple of his books years ago ( they are on the shelves somewhere, as I never get rid of books)

I just bought The God Delusion . From what I hear , it is really well written and very interesting.

2. One of my favorites...
...may I also suggest "The Book of Life" by Gould- a wonderful coffee table book with great illustrations, and "Evolution and the Myth of Creationism" by Dr. Tim Berra (for the teenage or non-science major college reader)
