Included letter
My wife, a teacher with a library media degree, received a huge package in the mail claiming to be from a Library Association of which she is a member. Turns out it's just a Scientology recruitment scheme to get people interested in the "works" of L. Ron Hubbard. Very timely considering the movie that has been hyped up lately.
This package was heavy!
I can't believe how many books are in here...
The "spoils"
No clue what we're going to do with all of these. Probably rip off the covers and toss them in the recycling.
Discussion guide
Questionnaire for the teacher
Questionnaire for the kids
This is the heart of the scheme. Get kids to fill out the form for feedback, give the address, and then start easing them into Scientology. Gotta get their address while they're young!

You know what, I actually enjoyed some of his fiction work. Dude's batshit crazy, but his writing's not bad.

Can I get a copy of one of those? I'm 100% serious.

Ship it back with a simple note that says, "No thank you".

Nah, that costs money. Just burn the thing...

For a second I misread Galaxy Press as Galaxy Quest. Which is still more believable than anything that weirdo wrote.
BindersOfWomen
such a great movie

Don't get me wrong, I agree the dude's insane, but what's so bad about getting kids to read?
vanella
No one has to fill out the feedback yet alone send it back! I mean it's a book, teach them to be critical of what they read...like any news
vanella
(also fill out the name and address of the school for any questionnaire)

In his defense his Sci-fi writings were pretty good.

Science fiction isn't Scientology..
BindersOfWomen
But scientology is science fiction
NewUserNamesAreHard
Yea they were, if you don't know about the scientology thing
notnamedincredits
It's funny how that is something people understand but when I say the same thing about Orson Scott Card people say it's not important.
ihavetwosnakes
Plenty of decent authors are nutty. I blame the ones that listened and didn't think "Man, that's kind of nuts."
NewUserNamesAreHard
Yea, me too. It's too bad
