The Book of the SubGenius : The Sacred Teachings of J.R. 'Bob' Dobbs

Sometimes a book goes too far. Sometimes is... now.

First, there was "The Gilgamesh".

Then... the "Bhagavad-Gita"

Then... the "Torah", the "New Testament", the "Koran"

Then... the "Book of Mormon", "Dianetics", "I'm OK You're OK".

And now... "The Book of the Subgenius (How to Prosper in the Coming Weird Times)"

Save the Children

"Bob" Dobbs is a madman and must be stopped!He is defiling the hearts, eyes, ears, and intestines of our nations' children! His insidious "slack orgies" and "suicide competitions" can turn your normal child into a deranged, slackjawed robot who pursues nothing but the teachings of this lunatic pornographer! If your children are acting "abnormal", are physically "ugly", or have been recently diagnosed with "ADD" or "HERPES"...

What else can be said about a book that says it all??

Assuming you never heard of the Church of the SubGenius, and their horrible, discordian, and nerdish beliefs...I'd say it's about time you did. BUY THIS BOOK.A true remedy for all the [junk] that clouds the minds of modern man. You might think you think, but you WON'T think the same after this thought provoking 'reveal all' tale. Life begins AFTER you look at this book for the first time. A true mind opener. Ever felt...

It's a cause worth SENDING MONEY to!

In 1993 I received an unexpected surprise: my brother and I were browsing through the Buck-a-Book discount bookstore in the Cambridge area (Buck-a-Book is a prime source for Slack!) one day, when he found a copy of the Book of the SubGenius on sale for one dollar. He showed it to me, knowing how I had pointed out "Bob" a few times in the past. I snatched the book up and bought it...after all, what's a buck these days? ...

THE BOOK YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE

At first, I thought this book was pure EVIL. So I burned it, only to have it appear that night (in perfect condition, yet still warm and a slight smokey odor) under my pillow. So I burned it again the next morning. Yep, you guessed it, under my pillow the next night. I began to read and spent the majority of the next 3 months with gut-wrenching laughter and tears of joy as this confusing world was clearified and classified...

The Book of the SubGenius : The Sacred Teachings of J.R. 'Bob' Dobbs in Sold Viewed Playful New: High Weirdness
Sold Viewed Playful New: High Weirdness
Published by Terry Fleming • February 22, 2022

Welcome to Sold, Viewed, Playful, New, where we spotlight popular/fascinating/favorite items in four distinct categories. Sold, for used books. Viewed, for DVDs or Blu-rays. Playful, for board, card, or video games. And New, for new books. Author Erik Davis coined the term High Weirdness in his book of the same name to refer to a genre of Sci-Fi and philosophical writing that charted "the emergence of a new psychedelic worldview out of the American counterculture of the seventies." While Davis focused primarily on authors from America’s west coast, I'm going to expand the category to include a bit more with this month's recommendations.
