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

Yeah, I checked 'em out, one as low as four cents! I'll check around town first, we've got several pretty good used bookstores.

"Synonymous" might not be a bad term. Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary defines parapsychology as "a field of study concerned with the investigation of evidence for paranormal psychological phenomena" and paranormal as "not scientifically explainable: SUPERNATURAL." Of course, English is nothing if not a boxing ring canopied with various, often opposing, shades of meaning.

The study of something is not synonymous with the thing. If I read a cookbook, my stomach is not filled with food.

Of course not. If you read a cookbook you are reading about how to cook food. If you study the paranormal you are studying the supernatural. SHADES OF MEANING! Parapsychology can be synonymous with the supernatural by "having the same connotations, implications, or reference (to runners, Boston is synonymous with marathon)." Not the marathon itself.

I got it last year for Christmas. Still havent started it yet. That thing is huge. I don't mind big books especially not his long ones but generally i like to carry books around with me places to read them. How the hell am i supposed to carry that with me? Never before have i thought so seriously about getting an ereader lol.
