I have OT 1-9, the History of Man, the Problems of Work and miscellaneous creepy letters that come from the CoS to my house's mailstop. I've read OT 1-9 and HoM and presented what I learned to BASS recently. I've never seen so many questions asked in the vein of "Are you shitting us?"
It is impressive to me how much these books read like bad science fiction with a tone of "I know this and you don't" and yet still be bought for 30$ a copy with a thousand dollar investment in being trained on how to read it. Hubbard is clearly mad.
I'd recommend the History of Man for starting out to understand Scientology. It allows for an objective eye to see easily how he (Hubbard) bastardizes evolution to fit his own ideology.
