One day I mistakenly checked out his Scientology handbook “Dianetics” and while I was grossly disappointed to discover it was not the sci-fi romp I’d hoped for, it did launch my lifelong obsession with the weirdness that is Scientology.

I could have written this. My oldest brother was a huge Sci-Fi reader and had amassed a large library of paperback books. He (occasionally) allowed me to peruse his books and I came across the Dianetics tome, with largely the same reaction. I can't recall how many pages I read before declaring "This is crap!"

“”This is crap!”” Sadly, I guess a lot of people that are looking to “find themselves” fall into the ‘crap’. It all sounds pretty evil to me. And, I’m sure they are bright and rich enough to counter arguments against them. Cha Ching!
