Currently, I am reading a travelogue in Marathi. I came across references to 2 books in it. One is Deceit at Pearl Harbor. This one, written by Ken Landis - lone survivor of Admiral Kimmel's staff - claims that the attack on the harbor wasn't so much of a surprise as the US led the world to believe, but a ploy to enter WW2. Sounds like a conspiracy theory? Who knows? The truth, as they say in X Files, is out there.

The other book is The Third Eye which was supposedly written by a Tibetan monk, who upon later investigation turned out to be an Englishman who had never been to Tibet. And yet, the book continued to be popular.

Hope I will be able to curl up with these books on some rainy afternoon in not-too-distant future :-)
