Suggested Readings In this section, we provide reading suggestions for individuals who wish to pursue their interest in the field of parapsychology. Some of the suggestions are geared towards the layperson, while others are more advanced. This is not meant to be a complete list, but it is a good beginning from the vast amount of literature on parapsychological topics in the English-speaking world. A number of these books are no longer in print but we are not certain which ones are out of print, so we include them anyway. We hope that you find these suggestions useful in your search for information about this interesting and intriguing field of study.
