Personally, and I know it's deeply unfashionable, but I've always found Dawkins to be a thoroughly disagreeable little shit.
I had to force myself to sit through
The Root of All Evil? on Channel 4 (how he must have balked at the lawyers' insistence that they add a question mark there). Listening to him in conversation with carefully selected religious extremists was rather like listening to a debate as to which is the better language, German or Chinese. How exhausting.
Whenever he appears to offer up his brand of rationalist absolutism, I'm put in mind of nothing but those diagrams in which the political spectrum is rendered not as a straight line, but as a
circle (apologies for the poor quality link. it's the only one I could find). Listening to him opine that, "For good people to do evil things, that takes religion", you might as well be listening to a representative of the Taliban with his polarity reversed.
I'll confess to having read only
The Selfish Gene, and that quite some time ago. It's clearly an important work but, like MBM, I'd be interested to know how it's viewed by his peers (I believe, for example, that Hawking is viewed as a bit of an irrelevance by others in his field). However, whenever Dawkins tries to make points of any social or political significance, I end up wanting to chew my own face off.
