I didn't read it, but I know his position quite well. I disagree with his idea that extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof, and I think there's enough evidence to show that psi exists, and there's also enough anecdotal evidence to show the presence of spirits and the spiritual world.
Do me a favor, though, and return the book - you can get a good second hand copy from the web. |

hate to go off topic, but there is no good proof for psi, or for ghosts. if you want a debate, put u a new topic plz (saves the mods from deleting it due to being off topic)

Where would I start the topic? The ganzfield and CIA-sponsored experiments showed some indication of the existance of psi. |

I think it was one of the first Sagan books I read, actually. It's one of two favorites, anyway. The other is Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors.
