Just read Bad Science.

 
It's an excellent book Craig, I love his 'straight to the point' and 'cut through the bull' approach, and his passion certainly shines through on every page. I found the chapter on homeopathy particularly intriguing - as the title of chapter 13 alludes, why (do) clever people believe stupid things.
 
I was appalled when I found out that my kids' school had subscribed to the Brain Gym programme. I was sorely tempted to write to the Local Education Authority and ask for the scientific justification they had for adopting the plan, whether or not pupils' participation was compulsory, and how much it was costing (I would have imagined that buying every student a copy of Bad Science instead would be a much better use of resources).
