Bunk: The Rise of Hoaxes, Humbug, Plagiarists, Phonies, Post-Facts, and Fake News by Kevin Young

slow-paced

Would be best for someone who already has a good history of hoaxes. This is just discussion and a lot of it will be confusing if you have no background knowledge of famous hoaxes. Or you'll have to do a lot of outside reading while reading this to get a full picture.
