Comment on Ask YC: What's the most insipid sci-fi book you've read?

Comments

Probably anything by L Ron Hubbard. To be fair I haven't read anything by him but if his religion is anything to go by the books are probably beyond insipid.

I read one of his sci-fi books a long time ago, and yes it was insipid. Dianetics was at least interesting as an exploration of their cult's beliefs. If anyone is planning to read it, I suggest you borrow it or at least buy it used, rather than pay for it. Giving them money is a bad thing...

Like Dianetics. Oh, wait, L. Ron was trying to be serious in that one.
