However, it's hard to tell which books are written by conspiracy theory fanatics with a screw loose, and which are written by historians and sociologists who have really done solid research.
I'd like a book that tells a bit about the history of the Freemasons, addresses the conspiracy theories about them from a historical perspective, and tells a bit about the inner workings of this secret society.
Incidently, this author is not a Freemason (although at the end of the book he declares his intention to join).

Lovecraft originally titled the book the Al Azif (from Arabic, meaning the sound of cicadas and other nocturnal insects, which folklore claims is the conversations of demons) and said that it was written by the Mad Arab Abdul Alhazred.

 Fictional Book, ANGLE IRON, Goes Beyond Terrorism Scenario to Alarming New Dimensions
This is not a book about terrorism; the purpose of terrorism is to scare people into action, or inaction to further the cause of the terrorist.
One disturbing aspect of the book is that the destruction is largely accomplished with materials that many people already have in their garage or attic, and can be used effectively with no prior skill or training.
Readers enjoy the humorous, easy reading style of the book, but in the end their confidence in the system, both industrial and governmental, is thoroughly shaken.

An admittedly slow writer, Guest is out with her fifth book, "The Tarnished Eye," a suspense novel based on real-life murders in her native Michigan.
The fictional case parallels the unsolved 1968 murders of Richard Robison, his wife and their four children at their summer cottage in northwestern Michigan, outside of Good Hart.
While Guest’s book follows police procedure as DeWitt tracks down suspects, it weaves in family conflicts and sorrows - the sheriff mourning the SIDS death of his infant son, the murdered mother trying to break off an affair, an artistic son clashing with his father.

 African American Review: Body Politics and the Fictional Double. - book review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
While the book has merit, the essays simply do not engage each other in a conversation capable of sustaining a coherent and compelling argument, and this flaw, while not fatal, weakens the book's effectiveness as a tool for social change.
If critique is not based on truth claims, it must rely on the force of a better argument, which means that, if a conve rsation is to result in the desired conversion, intellectual coherence is essential to the persuasive process.
Although this book, too, risks misunderstanding, with its editorial weaknesses, I think that the political point of this heterogeneous collection of unusual essays will not be missed by its audience.

 Cardinal Blasts 'Da Vinci Code' As 'Cheap Lies'
A central storyline of the book is that the Holy Grail is not the cup which Christ is said to have used at the Last Supper but really the bloodline descended from Jesus and Mary Magdalene.
Apparently, some people have failed to note that the book is fictional, because I have seen a number of people on the internet who speak of the book as "gospel." I'm sure the Cardinal knows that the work is marketed as fiction, but fears that this fact is eluding many and might lead them astray.
Obviously people are taking the book, or parts of it as fact, or the Cardinal would not have any concerns over this, and having a piece of fiction like this in Catholic bookstores that basically puts doubts into the minds of the faithful is a legitimate gripe since it's just not appropriate.
