Cults: The World's Most Notorious Cults | Nigel Cawthorne

so-so

⭐️⭐️ I know, another cult book. I‘m promise I‘m a well-adjusted human. This was a slow read; such dry writing and not attention-grabbing at all. It took me nearly a month of dipping in for a couple of chapters, here and there, mostly at soccer practice. I think the wild Manson cover kept people from talking to me, so mission accomplished. 😅

FlowerFairy If I‘d known that‘s all it took to keep people from talking to me as I read, I‘d have it printed onto a cover I could place on every book! 🤣 1y

britt_brooke @FlowerFairy Ha!! Right?! Now you know. Also, if people walk up and ask about your book, those are your people. 😂 1y

FlowerFairy Bonus! 😁 1y

Cults: The World's Most Notorious Cults | Nigel Cawthorne

Last day in the public room of our favorite local brewery. They will open their beautiful new, much larger place in a couple of weeks. So happy for them! Also, I will *finally* finish this book this week.

“Rajneesh then took on the title ‘Bhagwan‘ – which means ‘Master of the Vagina‘ …

Hooked_on_books I assume this is the Rajneesh who ended up in Oregon, poisoning salad bars. The cult was near to where my husband grew up. He said he would see the cult members around town. 1y

britt_brooke @Hooked_on_books Sure is. Yikes! How weird that must‘ve been. 1y

Dipping back into this one during soccer training. Will this deter other parents from talking to me? 😂🤞🏼

CuriousG I find the concept interesting, but wondering how you are finding this particular book? Is it a smooth read in that you get propelled through without realizing it, or is it a bit dry and more 'work'? 1y

britt_brooke @CuriousG It‘s a very brief overview of each cult, so not totally engrossing. It‘s interesting, but I think it‘ll take me a while to get through. I‘ve been reading 3-4 chapters at a time then putting aside for a day or two. (edited) 1y

sarahbarnes Definitely a strategy I would adopt. 😂 1y

Cults: The World's Most Notorious Cults | Nigel Cawthorne

so-so

My current read. It's a broad survey that covers a number of different cults. Some seem a little out of place to me, especially some of the historical ones, but I guess they all fit the general definition—it just varies in how extreme the cults are. Personally, I would've focused with more depth on a fewer number overall, though.
