jazzy_daveJames White "Bad Thoughts: A Guide to Clear Thinking" (Corvo Books)
A good, solid look at some of the most common logical mistakes. There were one or two amusing moments when the author actually committed a fallacy he'd just argued against, and there were a few places where he allowed his political preferences to color his arguments, but for the most part, it is a badly needed corrective to some of the most egregious mistakes being made in modern discourse.
This should be required reading for everyone, especially the devoted MAGA and Brexit generation who don't seem to have even a modicum of critical thinking skills and would prefer to have someone else tell them what to think.
This book has both a humorous and very pointed, yet concise way of walking the user through the various logic breakdowns and falacies that are encountered in the current spin filled 'news' of the day.
