Does anyone have recommendations for actually well-written, well-thought-out, well-researched schizolit? I feel that people recommend books like picrel or Programmed to Kill because they're "foundational" but whenever I read them with an open mind, they usually turn me off of the theories they're trying to present because they're either so poorly written and organized, or because the claims are unfounded and outlandish. When I started reading picrel the first chapter was just Ancient Aliens, Graham Hancock shit and that turned me off immediately.

In other words; if you were to recommend a book on the paranormal or parapolitics to a skeptic, NOT a true believer, in order to convince them, which book(s) would you choose?
