What I hate is anything trying to tout pseudo-science as real science. <br /><br />I haven't read any Pinkney. Michael Crichton is one of my guilty pleasures though...he can be a bit silly at times too.Brain Masterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401569546542144264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6835168335867345212.post-40545770002766543572011-12-19T04:12:07.705-08:002011-12-19T04:12:07.705-08:00I just got a kindle, I might have a look at those ...I just got a kindle, I might have a look at those books. They look fairly interesting, although I also enjoy reading mystery books - John Pinkney is a decent enough mystery writer, but I found the second book of his I read to be based more on the supernatural side of things (as opposed to the first book I read, based mostly on murder mysteries) and once I read a few lines of him devaluing anyone who would not believe in something simply because it could not be proven.<br /><br />When I read him slamming people for being logical, I found it hard to take him seriously. It was almost like he was encouraging people not to think too hard about something and to accept what he was saying without any questions.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12952212732988277090noreply@blogger.com
