I’ll go with the low-hanging fruit: Mein Kampf. I’ve read it, cover to cover. As a piece of propaganda, it’s good. As an example of good writing? Absolutely not (though I will admit I have only read it in translation). Oh, and the whole fascist, racist, and generally shitty worldview of the author that he infuses into the text. And the fact that the author is literally Hitler. You 5-star that book? You’re a Nazi. Period. And as a Jewish person, I don’t look too kindly on them.

    Twilight, Fifty Shades, or Z-list celebrities autobiographies.

    People don’t have to read Tolstoy or Naipaul, but if you’ve only read these type of books, rate them as works of quality, and you’re an adult; I’m afraid It’s not going to work.

    Unless they’re really hot and then it’ll work for a little bit, but not for long.
