Hello Books

I have just seen Umberto Eco - a library of the world, and he was an avid collector of books that are just plain wrong. It could be occult, historians that got it wrong, mistakeful theories, etc. I loved all of the books that was shown in the movie, but I have had a hard time finding any of them or similiar types. Do you have any advice, and or any favourites in this genre?

    My personal favorite in that category is “Atlas Shrugged”! As I… very liked this book when I read it, I will admit that. BUT… I did read it as a science fiction adventure drama, not knowing or even suspecting it have all this real-world stuff attached to its author. For sci-fi it was incredible thought provoker all the way to the finish. At the time of reading I genuinely thought that its “wrongness” was the goal to provide a platform for discussion… eh…

      My biggest issue with Atlas shrugged is that it just kept repeating the same message. The book could have easily ended when the train ran the track for the first time buuut nooo they had to pontificate for eleventybillion more words.
