Recs if you like Uncultured: A Memoir...

Books where cults are a significant part of the narrative. Some fiction, some non-fiction.

Memoirs from people who either are or were in religious movements or cults of any kind. This is not anti-religion, and includes memoirs of people still in their religions, and I am ALWAYS looking for more - please offer suggestions.

NonFiction about and by people who were homeschooled or in nontraditional schooling, causing educational neglect and abuse, for some or all of their childhood and adolescence. These books feature, examine &/or deconstruct the systems and instances of harm that frequently occur in insular, high control educational environments.

In progress Pending additions in the twinned shelf Suggestions welcome!

Because, of course, the scientific method is for heathens, nerds & pussies

Non Fiction featuring medical neglect & endangerment by people who know better, but are being reckless or contemptuous of scientific rigour, & people who believe evidence based medicine &/or science as a whole are bogus.

Fuck Around & Find Out— medical style.

Suggestions welcome! In progress Potential additions in the twinned shelf
