Kent,

> Add to your reading list the book "Origins" by Robert Shapiro. He's the scientist I talked to you about that was primarily engaged in origin of life research. He has some new ideas concerning origins, but by and large the landscape of the endeavor is so unchanged from that book was first printed (in '88) that many of his criticisms still stand. -I cannot recommend this book highly enough. His current idea is to find an inorganic circular mechanism that creates energy and then look for a mechanism that can shift it to organic molecules.
