The Book of Common Fallacies by Philip Ward with Julia Edwards, 488 pages

I saw this book and thought it would be fascinating learning about all the "facts" we know that aren't really true. Except that this author has taken anything that is interesting and drowned it in a sea of boring. Any tidbits that are at all fascinating or intriguing are surrounded by 5 boring entries on logical, math or philosophy fallacies that left me bored out of my mind and drooling. Plus, the author has no belief at all in anything at all questionable, such as parapsychology, aliens or even religion, so his fallacies are often times insulting. Not worth picking up at all.
