I was at the used book store recently and saw a number of his books in the sci-fi section. They had a lot of Battlefield Earth copies which I saw at the dollar theater when I was in the Air Force and felt a dollar was too much, but to be fair a book shouldn’t be judged on it’s adaptation (Wheel of Time for instance). It’s just that with his books I can’t get past the whole Scientology things.
Just out of pure curiosity I do want to read Dianetics one day because that commercial was on a lot when I was a little kid. I want to see what all the fuss was about.
FWIW, it’s not unusual for Scientologists to bring copies of his stuff to libraries or bookstores and then leave them on the shelves for people to find. LRH’s tech is going to save the world, after all.
Not to say some of his sci fi isn’t worth reading.
