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.

      Honestly, if someone drops an Enoby Dark’ness Dementia Raven Way reference on the first date, we’re gonna have a blast. 😂 I can’t imagine anyone saying this is their favorite book (does fanfic count as a book?) and not meaning “my favorite book to laugh at.”

        I went on a date with someone who told me it was his favourite book. What I learned about him on that date was that every aspect of his personality was carefully curated to be as contrary and trollish as possible.

      If it’s ironic, swipe right. If it’s unironic, I’ll still swipe right because that sounds like a wild ride of a human being
