As a side note from the "dating a spiritualist" post and the "Harry Potter "house member" question...
Does anyone else enjoy reading pseudoscience books as if they were Hogwarts textbooks? "Astral Projection for beginners", "Quaballah-throwing stones or caution to the wind", etc...
One of the things that, as a child, added to my burgeoning skepticism was reading books like Chariots of the Gods, the Bermuda Triangle, and the Amityville Horror. If these were to be "believed", they obviously interfered with the Catholic stories that I was being told.

An admission: I think the world would be a poorer place without pseusoscience - I find it a never-ending source of great amusement. I read all of Von Daaniken's books when I was a kid and several of the spin-offs and cash-ins penned by other authors. You used to find them on every thrift store's bargain shelf, but I never see them now - I wonder where they all went?
