As I can remember his SciFi wasn’t that bad. Of course I think I was in Jr High when I read it. I tried to read Dianetics way back around then too, not because I was looking for any self-help. (You can’t improve on perfection! :) ) Just curious because there was a buzz about it. I found it to be full of idiotic gobbly-gook and not worth my time. I don’t think I even got 1/4 through it. I remember being shocked when I heard that people took it seriously and a religion grew around it.
Wasn’t Hubbard reported to have said at a SciFi convention that he was going to start a religion because thats where the real money is made?

Quotes by L. Ron Hubbard:
“You don’t get rich writing science fiction. If you want to get rich, you start a religion.”
“The only way you can control people is to lie to them. You can write that down in your book in great big letters. The only way you can control anybody is to lie to them.”
“If you want to make a little money, write a book. If you want to make a lot of money, create a religion.”
