If you only have one book to read, this is the one.  It is both informative and hilarious.  I appreciate most that it is totally outside the Skeptic/Believer debate, Mary Roach approaches the topic as you or I would.  She reviews all the important stuff, does a soul have weight, children who remember past lives, mediums, near death experiences.

Mary Roach: Spook. WW Norton 2005

Written by Neuroscientist and medium Vanessa Anseloni and Divaldo Franco, Brazilian Spiritist.  Extraordinary synthesis of the neuroscience of ADHD, proper use of medication, excellent parenting advice, spiritual understandings and the existence of spirits who live on other worlds.  No other book like it.
