The Men Who Stare at Goats
In 1979, a secret unit was established by the US Army. Defying all known military practice - and indeed the laws of physics - they believed that a soldier could adopt a cloak of invisibility, pass cleanly through walls, and, perhaps most chillingly, kill goats just by staring at them. They were the First Earth Battalion. And they really weren't joking. What's more, they're back and fighting the War on terror. So unbelievable it has to be true - this is the real-life account that inspired the film. The reviews include: 'Simultaneously frightening and hilarious' - The Times ; and, 'Not only a narcotic road trip through the wackier reaches of Bush's war effort, but also an unmissable account of the insanity that has lately been done in our names' - Observer .

Psychic Spies & Uri Gellar? Yes please.
Ok, so I want to see this movie anyway but thought I would do the honourable thing and read the book first. I was definitely not disappointed. This investigative account of the black-ops use of Psychic Spies by the US Government over the last 40-odd years is informative, entertaining, laugh-out-loud funny and will show you a side to Uri Gellar that you never knew existed. To some people, granted, that might not be much of a hook but I can thoroughly recommend this book. You may want to try walking through a wall or possibly trying out invisibility once you've read it...
You have been warned.
