This is a question Conspiracy theory nutters

I keep getting collared by a bloke who says that the war in Afghanistan is a cover for our Illuminati Freemason Shapeshifting Lizard masters to corner the market in mind-bending drugs. "It's true," he says, "I heard it on TalkSport". Tell us your stories of encounters with tinfoil hatters.

Thanks to Davros' Granddad

Reading list
Probably preaching to the converted but..

If you like conspiracies don't waste your time reading any of the the sorry excuses of books written by Dan Brown

Robert Anton Wilson & Robert Shea's 'The Illuminatus! Trilogy'

Umberto Eco's 'Foucault's Pendulum'

fnord

Both are very good, brilliantly written and in the case of the Illuminatus! Trilogy full of drugs and sex

Foucault's Pendulum
Is one of the heaviest-going things I have ever read. I thought it would never end.

Good, but noewhere near as readable as 'The Name of the Rose'.

the chaplain at my university gave me a copy of that. Very good

A couple of excellent books there.
First read Foucault's Pendulum in the early 1990s, and still go back to it occasionally. Absolutely beautiful, if a little heavy going.

Got the Illuminatus! Trilogy far too late, three or four years ago. Thoroughly enjoyed them though.

Too true about Foucault's P
It took me half the book to get into it, and the other half enjoying it.
Try Baudolino, that book was awesome.

Probably going to be laughed at for this....
... But I find John Twelve Hawks' books to be a slightly more intelligent take on airport reading.
