So the first book I’m reading this year is one I received as a birthday present –

The Demon-Haunted World by Carl Sagan

This is a book I’ve been wanting to read for a long time but have never managed to track down. It basically should be on the required reading list at school – now more than ever – as it teaches you about critical thinking. Sagan does so mainly with the alien phenomena but also with many other pseudoscience subjects. I’m about half way through and it really does need to be pressed into the hands of woolly thinkers everywhere!
