Ok. I've sent your name and address to the Scientology Mother Church. Agents will be picking you up momentarily. Say goodbye to family, friends and sanity. You're in Scientology now!!

Let me share some comedy among the group

 ''First time I heard the story of Scientology I was like, that is the dumbest shit I have ever heard in my life, it was like: Hey, everybody there’s a space ship coming back, everybody’s getting sneakers, this is Tom Cruise...

And I said that is the dumbest shit I have ever heard, while simultaneously still kind of believing that a woman who never got fucked, had a baby that walked on water, died and came back three days later, so...''

The Thread Where You Wax Rhapsodic about Your Book Collection
Time

Well I guess I had nothing better to do this afternoon than make a list of all my books. Four main categories: Fiction, Non-Fiction, Graphic Novels, Scripts.

Things I'm not including: "Bootleg" scripts aka actual three-hole punched scripts (I have a few); children's "Find and Seek" type books, like Waldo; single issue comic books; Playboy magazines (I have a ton).

So, here is my full list, baring anything I've loaned out or misplace...

- Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy 2

 That's not a thing.  Unless you are referring to Restaurant at the End of the Universe.

Yes Ric, that's the one. 

 That's fine.  I've never heard anyone call it that.

And technically you still haven't heard anyone call it that. You only read it.

The Thread Where You Wax Rhapsodic about Your Book Collection
Time

Hmm, I'm almost tempted to catalog all my books for the purpose of this thread...

But to start off with, here's a small sample:

- Lots of Stephen King and Michael Crichton books.

- A handful of books by Louis Sachar; "There's A Boy In The Girls' Bathroom," "Holes," and the "Wayside School Trilogy".

- Lord of the Rings (3 copies) and The Hobbit (1 copy).

- A damn good amount of Elmore Leonard and Christopher Moore books.

- Barely any L. Ron Hubbard books.

- Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy 1 & 2

- Various books that got turned into movies; "A Clockwork Orange," "Jaws," "Wonder Boys," "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" etc.

- Some Agatha Christie stories and plays.

- A ton of screenplay books.

- Not too many comics. I mainly just bought a ton of older issues from the "3 for $1" bins. But I got a handful of graphic novels, like "Watchmen" and "The Dark Knight Returns" and stuff.

- And lastly, a bunch of old Shakespeare paperbacks from high school.
