I've always enjoyed the writings of Daniel Dennett. As a philosopher and cognitive scientist I find him challenging and top-notch. The fact that he has a negative approach to religion hasn't bothered me - I figure that if my faith can't stand up to questioning from a good thinker it's not worth having.

I've ordered it today and will blog my thoughts when it arrives.
