I thought about picking up something by Dawkins, but he just comes across as a super hardcore atheist and sort of the archleader, but I have never read him, nor do I really know much of what he stands for beside the broad brush the media paints him with, so I have no idea if I would enjoy reading him.
So let me know what you think some good reads would be, keeping in mind I am newbie to this way of life.

I consider myself most closely identifiable with agnosticism but Dawkins is fantastic. In 98% of what he has written, the gap between atheism and agnosticism is not addressed. I think he's done incredible things from the biology point of view and it doesn't matter that he calls himself an atheist.
