An interesting book for skeptics is "The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner" (1824) by James Hogg. It's a ruthless satire of religious fundamentalism dressed up as a Gothic potboiler, lots of fun if not the lightest read you'll ever have.

I would recommend Frayn's plays over "The Tin Men", especially "Copenhagen" in this scientifically literate forum.
