THE STAR KINGS by Edmond Hamilton
THE STAR KING by Jack Vance
TO YOUR SCATTERED BODIES GO by Philip Jose Farmer
THE WINDS OF WAR by Herman Wouk
WATERSHIP DOWN by Richard Adams
THE WORLD OF WASHINGTON IRVING by Van Wyck Brooks
THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES by Arthur Conan Doyle
THE WORLD BEYOND THE HILL by Alexi and Cory Panshin
THE LOST WORLD BY Arthur Conan Doyle
TIME AND AGAIN by Clifford D. Simak

These aren't in definitive order but if this were a lucky 13 list I would have to add I AM LEGEND by Richard Matheson, SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES by Ray Bradbury, and SCIENCE FICTION BY GASLIGHT edited by Sam Moskowitz, this last bizarre enough to satisfy if not stun any lover of horror.

I'll keep an eye out for this one when I'm book hunting (which tends to be every weekend). Is parapsycology, at least as used in his theory, synonymous with the supernatural?

I don't think I'd use the term synonymous.

You can find used copies on Amazon. I recently got another copy there.
