Wow, Chris I know you don't live in a marijuana-legal state, so I know what you're offering isn't that, but what could it be???
Regardless of amazing premium, this book is going to be good if the HBO doc by the same name is any indication. Spoiler alert: Tom Cruise is creepy, John Travolta kinda sweet.

I will read.

I cant get myself to read a book about scientology, or its loyalists.

Ill let you guys read it for me and look at some of tbe comments.
Its kind of like a train wreck to me - you know you shouldnt stare too long but find yourself doing it anyway.

Well, Wright did say that he set out to understand scientology, which implies a degree of dispassionate distance from the subject. So if he does that with the book, it'll have more value for me than just being pure expose (accent over the e). That said, from what I've learned about the religion, the truth of it may be wildly stranger than any fiction could ever risk being.
