Reading list on Scientology

In March 2011 at the Independent, Gillian Orr came up with a brief reading list about Scientology.

One title on the list:

Dianetics by L Ron Hubbard

Last week marked the 100th anniversary of the birth of Scientology founder L Ron Hubbard, whose Dianetics remains the canonical text of the controversial religion and is referred to as "Book One" by followers. Published in 1950, he started the movement with his assertion that we have a "reactive mind" that underlies and enslaves mankind and which we need to remove in order to be happy.

Read about the novel on the list.
