The Demon-Haunted World by Carl Sagan
3.0
informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

Overall I like this book, but as it drew on two problems happened for me that are common with nonfiction books like this:

One: it becomes clear that it is a collection of essays. Sometimes profound and informative. More and more: repetitive when crammed into a book.

Somewhat related books like this seem to hit several notes reportedly. For this book it is usually a brief tour of some beliefs and then a brief mention of what is really happening. There is a weird array of topics which is great. But some start to repeat.

The writing is fun and engaging. I enjoy that it does have many topics.
