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?

Hope you enjoy any you might come across. These are literally books I did not want to end.
