Title: The Men Who Stare at Goats
Author: Jon Ronson
Publisher: Picador

240 pages
Audiobook
The audiobook narrator reads a lot like William Shatner, which doesn't really detract from the telling. Unfortunately, he does anyone who espouses any holistic or non-mainstream point of view with a goofy voice, which does detract and draw this reader, anyway, away from the book.
Ronson dives right in to his history of shadowy, weird, and/or obsessive behaviors by the CIA and other intelligence agencies; the lack of set-up, context, or introduction heightens the bizarreness of what is to come.
