I've read both of these. Both are excellent. "Billions and Billions" was much better than I expected - it actually changed my views on a couple of subjects.
IMO, "The Demon Haunted World" should be required reading for high school kids. It's that good.
The deeper one delves into why people believe things and the history of religions (Karen Armstrong's "The History of God" is another good one), the more incredibly interesting this whole phenomenon of belief becomes.
This "Conversations.." book might be good. I have a Richard Feynman book lined up after the Shermer book, but I might need to check into this...
