TBC is 845 pp. Tall order. When so many very reputable sources (like almost every researcher cited in it, lol) say it's BS, you can make a judgment call. I read Chariots of the Gods (for a class). It was BS. Do I have to read every other book by Daniken to know they're BS? No.
Some books become classics -- cited 100 times as often as they're read.
Other books, like 'The Bell Curve' by @charlesmurray, become bugbears -- criticized 1000 times as often as they're read.https://twitter.com/rjhaier/status/1008844453321166848 …

I read that as The Bell Jar for a second and thought "Who criticises Plath??"

The extended library system of my liberal major metropolitan area didn't own a single copy of The Bell Curve, or I would have read it.
