Hands down the best history book I have read.
I was fascinated by UFO's and paranormal nonsense until I found that book in the NYPL at ten.
Your AV is funnyI also found it interesting in the shift of people who claimed to be possessed or interact with demons shifted to aliens and UFO sightings not long after commercial aviation was invented.
I also loved Cosmos by Carl Sagan. The chapter about the ancient Ionian Greeks who figured out that things were made of atoms and that natural phenomenon were the result of natural laws and not the work of gods. Pretty impressive for ~2500 years ago, but alas, mysticism and superstition regained their foothold.
That's not what Jesus told us to do.Is the first rule that you're not supposed to talk about it?
You don't need to peddle your favorites to me. I'm not interested.Mein Kampf? The Turner Diaries?
Bunch of subversives in here.
I must inform the authority's to set you all strait.

I think I read that, or part of it, as a kid. Strange that he was such a skeptic, while his wife was very credulous.Miracle Mongers and Their Methods by Harry Houdini taught me to question everything at about that same age.
