Feb. 11th, 2013 01:46 pmThree weeks in and I've already considered leaving something out because I'm not sure I care to confess to the internet that I read it. You'll know it when you get there.
Week of February 4:
Books:
Scientology: Abuse at the Top, Amy Scobee
Mummy Told Me Not to Tell, Cathy Glass
Another Forgotten Child, Cathy Glass (help i can't stop)
Hidden, Cathy Glass (okay now I have to stop, if only because I've gone through B&N's entire selection)
Beyond Belief: My Secret Life in Scientology and My Harrowing Escape, Jenna Miscavige Hill (no it's totally still for school and not in any way because I'm obsessed with the topic! brb buying an unauthorized Tom Cruise biography SIGH) (btw this book is an excellent biography of an ex-Scientologist; Jenna - the niece of the current Scientology leader, David Miscavige - wisely hired an actual author, Lisa Pulitzer, to cowrite, so the book is genuinely readable and interesting as well as being thoroughly informative.)
Tom Cruise: an Unauthorized Biography, Andrew Morton (double sigh. Not much use for Scientology info; it was published in 2008, like five minutes before Anonymous declared war on Scientology and helped pave the way for ex-Scientologists to start sharing their stories, so Morton didn't have a ton to work with. It paints a picture of Miscavige's favorite disciple, though, and as Morton very sensibly points out, an "authorized" Cruise biography wouldn't be worth the paper it was printed on. Or, in this case, the hard drive space it was stored in.)
