reading David Aaronovitch's "Voodoo Histories: The Role of the Conspiracy Theory in Shaping Modern History"
Not only you have to hold your breath to be able to say the title out loud but it's an amazing work of investigation behind some of history's biggest forgeries like Protocols of the Elders of Zion and a lot of modern conspiracy theories. Those that were so important before they got debunked that some people actually cited them as reasons to justify acts. This is like 20 episodes of Skeptoid welded into one. I love the amazon reviews, he gets praised by the majority and then completely lambasted by the conspiracy nuters. it's either a 5/5 or 4/5 or a 1/5 with insults and accusation of being part of the conspiracy.
Next book is The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution by the pork eating infidel Richard Dawkins.
