10 Books That Screwed Up the World: And 5 Others That Didn't Help by Benjamin Wiker
This book is so pathetic it's almost a waste of time reviewing it. I started out getting mad at the author and his ignorant views but ended up just finding the whole thing laughably sad.
I can sum up all of his "arguments" against the books thusly:
All of the authors have a different view of the world, God and religion than he does, therefore they must be atheist not matter what they say to the contrary. All atheists are evil therefor they and their ideas are evil, as are those who might agree with them. Oh, and also, liberals tend to be atheists and are also therefore evil.
It would be one thing if he gave concrete arguments for his views or actually discussed the books in a serious manner vs. just making fun of them or the authors (including their physical attributes, though I don't know what one authors being bald has to do with anything) but that is pretty much all he does. Well, that and preach his own view on religion and society.
A complete waste of time.
