Book of the Day: Sleeping with Extra-Terrestrials: The Rise of Irrationalism and Perils of Piety, by Wendy Kaminer.

As many perhaps have already noticed by now, America has a buoyant love affair with all things irrational. This is certainly nothing new - it's been going on since last century at least. Some may find this to be quaint but unimportant to how society functions - but Wendy Kaminer does a fantastic job of arguing that wide spread irrationalism and uncritical acceptance of things like angels, aliens, gurus, etc. has serious repercussions for everyone.
