Books on S's Father's Shelves When She Was Growing Up

My dad was a newspaper man who loved to read. Our house was filled with books and I used to scope them out and swipe them to read. I can only recall a few--these are the ones I can remember, lo these 50 years later. I especially liked the "strange but true" paperbacks and the reincarnation one. Plus, he used to read to me every night when I was small.
