One good book I read recently was "Dishonored" by Mukhtar Mai. It has nothing to do with atheism, but I haven't read any books about atheism. Atheism is not a religion with a "holy" book. I just don't believe that there is a God. There's no use to write a whole book about this.

There is no such thing as an atheistic bible. Atheism is not a doctrine, it is just the natural state of an open mind. The problem for an atheist is not to define or justify his religion (since he has none), the problem for an atheist is that religious people harass him with their more or less well-meant "truths".
Atheists do not try to explain the world completely, they allow for doubt, discussion, hypotheses, verification, or falsification. They are prepared to reconsider their view of the world whenever new facts emerge.
When one day a supreme being steps forward and proves that he or she created the world in seven days, an atheist will be prepared to accept this if it is plausible, but even then the atheist will not stop asking questions how he did it, why he did it this way and not another, and where he came from and who created him.
So if you find an atheistic bible out there, it probably is a fake ...

How about a couple from an atheist, both a bit scholarly though.
"The Golden Bough" Sir James George Frazer
