Welcome to Litsy!

I would recommend this book for skeptical conspiracy theorists- lol. I loved it. It was hard to believe and unsettling but all true. Although the subject matter was dark, the author brought humor in which I liked. I did find it a bit hard to follow at times, but overall a great book. Give it a read!

I was looking for some light reading, so I picked up The Men Who Stare at Goats expecting the novel upon which the movie was based. Was I ever wrong! It was one of the strangest books I‘ve read, but is non-fiction. It about how the Army and CIA tried to use psychic powers to spy on enemies, to influence their behavior, etc. What got me the most was that so many of the characters actually believed the things they tried would actually work.

Sooo... today I basically hypnotised a goat with my presence... Waiting for my Hogwarts letter to start next year!

This crazy nonfiction ebook is on sale today.

I had no idea this tagged book was a movie! Then I read that‘s it only Netflix a few more days so here I am watching it. There‘s a lot of irony in Ewan McGregor learning about the “Jedi,” the psychic army unit.

Hard to follow in places because of all the names and time skips but incredibly interesting none the less

The style of this book was amazing. I love how Jon Ronson investigates and how he sees these fasinating subjects. The problem is i cant get away with the military language. I get confused and bored by all the ranks and fort wherevers

For me it picked up towards the end when he was discussing victims of CIA drugging people with LSD

Id recommend this book to anyone who loves fasinating true stories as long as they dont hate military terminology

Urgh i LOVE Jon Ronson. Ive even met him and it was fabulous. My kindle is signed by him. I just find military stuff really dull. This book isnt going as quick as i thought it would

I think Ronson has written better books, but admittedly the topic itself is a reason to add this to your library.

You can‘t make this stuff up. Someone in the US army thought he could walk through walls. *shakes head*

I loved this book, but I do also love all of Jon Ronson's books. Although they are nonfiction they flow like a narrative and are always incredibly interesting!

I can totally see why they wanted to turn this book into a movie. From staring at goats to playing Barney songs over and over again this book had everything to showcase a bizarre look at the military! #bookreview #jonronson #themenwhostareatgoats
