What do you think about "The Selfish Gene"?

The book or the idea? Actually I think that both are great. I am a huge fan of Dawkins and have read most of his stuff. Of course, The Selfish Gene was published in the mid/late '70s, so may be slightly out of date - though I think they have done a revised edition recently. I am currently tempted to buy the (apparently) more scholarly follow up - The Extended Phenotype (published 1981 or some such). Let's see. Evolution fascinates me, and I'm currently in the middle of two books on it...
