Colin Wilson is absolutely *fantastic* at summarising wonderfully barmy
theories. And is a great writer all by himself. I'd highly recommend 'Beyond
the Occult' for it's pleasantly open-ended discussion of the occult and
such. And obviously 'A Criminal History of Mankind' for violence through the
ages.

Mind you, my week was made by receiving an email from Paul Deveraux, a
UFOlogist I'm a complete fan of. So don't trust my opinion, I'm clearly a
nutter. Whee!

Joe.
