I do like the odd polemic for light reading. Any of the Michael Moores and I do like the Francis Wheen's book 'How Mumbo Jumbo Conquered the World', but I do agree with this extract from a review.
'The reason Wheen never tries to understand why people believe the daft stuff that they do is because of his innate faith in argument and reason. If he knows something is nonsense, why doesn't everyone else ? (...) Nothing makes sense any more and it bloody well should. Wheen's indignation is righteous and well worth reading. It will greatly appeal to those who are as reasonable as him. I'm not, and that's probably because I am a different star sign." - Suzanne Moore, New Statesman '
