What Randi book to buy?

[trasa]

So, it seems as if almost everyone here... okey, that's my perception after having red one of the recent threads... has gotten books by Randi.

Now, I don't, since he's not that big here in Sweden - yet! So, could anyone tell me where to start? I thought I'd buy Flim Flam! and one or two more books, thus saving in on shipping fees from our dear Bokus (Swedish...)

So, anyone?

Flim Flam is great. And I almost hate to do this, get the Demon Haunted World by Carl Sagan. It's maybe the greatest book of that "type". I tend to think Randi would agree that it's, at least, way up there. I can't put words in his mouth of course.
The two books go great together.
Sagan writes an eloquent book about a war.
Randi sends correspondence from the trenches.

The Faith Healers is a good read - exposing faith-healing evangelists and televangelists and similar slimy characters.

Flim Flam! and The Demon-Haunted World it is!

Many thanks!

If you're interested in the whole Nostradamus thing, try Randi's Masks of Nostradamus.

any of Randi's books are worth the read.

Its not one of Randi's, but Unweaving The Rainbow is good.

I picked up The Truth About Uri Gellar a year or two back in the second hand section of a bookshop in The Hague - definitely a good read.
