Me he decidido a completar un poco mi biblioteca por las zonas de escepticismo y de
historia de la ciencia. Para cumplir tal propósito he pensado en pedir a Amazon.com que me
flete un 747 y me traiga la siguiente lista de libros. Me gustaría que le echárais un
vistazo y me aconsejárais en caso de que vaya a adquirir alguno de los peores libros del
universo, o de que conozcais uno que cubre el mismo tema de forma mucho más satisfactoria.
