Yesterday, Richard Dawkins did an Ask Me Anything session on Reddit. Given that he’s been on a Twitter hiatus lately while recovering from a minor stroke, it’s been a while since we’re heard from him. Here are some of the highlights:

Question: How are you?

Pretty well, thank you. Still can’t sing but that’s not a great deprivation. I just regard it as an indicator of my recovery. My voice croaks somewhat when talking too, which is more of a nuisance.

Question: What has the recovery process been like for you for the past few months?

I was very impressed with the British National Health Service. Physio or other therapists came to my house every day (except weekends) for six weeks after I left hospital.

Question: Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump?

Need you ask? Do you think I’m insane?

Question: Which one of your own books is your favorite and why?

Of all my 13 books, hard to say, but I am especially proud of Climbing Mount Improbable, which is, strangely, the book that has sold the least.
