I have some real clunkers...

Chariots of the Gods
The Atlantis Blueprint (Atlantis is under Antarctica....)
Holy Grail Across the Atlantic (The Knights Templar were in Nova Scotia)
100,000 Years of Man's Unknown History (assorted lunacy)

Chariots of the Gods I was into during highschool

Atlantis Blueprint - I think I picked this up on a bargain table.....

Holy Grail Across the Atlantic - the Sinclair voyage sounded plausable, bot so sure now

100,000 years - I have no excuse but it was a long time ago....

Any other confessions out there?

Fingerprints of the Gods

The Stairway to Heaven

Neither of which I have read yet. They were given to me quite a while ago by my brother (don't remember why)

I'm sure I have others on the shelf, a few about the Templars that I purchased because I want to learn more about them, but I cannot tell the legit from the loony.

The bible.

The one I'm reading now. Supernatural by Graham Hancock. The first part was interesting but now it has wandered off about UFO experiences and seems like gobblity gook. I have a compulsion to finish reading whatever I start though so I'll probably finish it. He is totally off the wall on some things but some of his stuff gives you something to think about at least.
I would also include some of the Templer stuff I've read as being far fetched and stuff about Atlantis but I can't even remember the names of the books right now and I'm too lazy to go look.

how can you all miss the all time number one
the one that the author himself admitted later was a load of crap after first claiming that it was the result of ten years research
anyone know what I'm talking about or shall i just say "Alan" (CLUE)

I give up what is it?

Would it be the one that was promoted on the Oprah Winfrey book club?

I don't remember the title, but it had a picture of a hand covered in some kind of sprinkle stuff.

Never mind, I just remembered it was "A million little pieces" so that can't be it.

Even though that one was debunked also.

Gods of the new millenium by Alan "Awful" Alford
Sitchin later threatened to sue him for $50,000,000 for admitting publically that it was a load of bollox (he'd based it on Zechariahs solid (not so really) research)

In 1997/98, on the back of a three-book contract from Hodder and Stoughton Publishers, I set about finding further scientific evidence of the Anunnaki-gods. The intention was to produce the kind of sequel that writers normally produce – aptly summed up by the expression ‘more of the same’. To this end, I decided to write a book about ancient Egypt, partly because Egypt was in vogue following the publication of ‘The Orion Mystery’ and similar books, and partly because Sitchin had not fully covered the rich Egyptian lore in his ‘Earth Chronicles’ series. I therefore began to pore over the ancient Egyptian writings, looking for evidence of extraterrestrial contact.

But I did not find what I expected to find

I'm proud to say that I no longer own Gods of the New Millenoium - but I did buy it once ......

I actually have quite a library of 'embarassing' books: they do make good light readng on a Sunday afternoon ....

It does help to know how and where people originally get their weird and wonderful ideas from. Especially since most authors fo such books only reference one another...

The Reference section of Hancock's Fingerprints of the Gods is one of the funniest things he's ever written!


Anyway, amongst others, I've got stuff by Von Daniken, Rand Flem-Ath, Colin Wilson, Graham Hancock, Andrew Collins, Charles Hapgood, Paul LaViolette all safely hidden from sight in a sideboard. Oh, and even a signed copy of Nigel Appleby's Hall of the Gods - which was so good it was withdrawn and pulped after a week on sale


I have never, ever, bought anything by Sitchin though.

besides every evolutionist book--- Claudius Ptolemy's book 'The Geography"
