Not to sound viciously political, but does anyone else think that The Assault on Reason has got to be worst title ever for a book?
Scenario One:
"What's your book called?"
"The Assault on Reason."
"I know it is, but what's the title?"
Scenario Two:
"Hmmm...whatever should we call Gore's new book?"
"What? You mean the one that's the assault on reason?"
"That's it! You've got it! The Assault on Reason!"
Scenario Three:
"I'm looking for The Assault on Reason? I think it's in the political section."
"I'm sorry, but you are going to have to be more specific than that..."
Perhaps he would have been wiser to entitle his book: The Defense of Reason, or In Praise of Reason, or The Age of Irrationality.
