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.
If you like podcasts and haven’t checked it out yet If Books Could Kill recently did an episode on the 48 Laws of Power. I just started listening to the show and I’ve liked it so far
Upvote for If Books Could Kill, great podcast.
