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.
When I was in dating apps, my opening line to men on bumble was “hey, I’m looking for a good book to read, what’s your favorite?” because my ex hated reading and I wanted to date someone who wasn’t like him.
I’m not kidding, in Los Angeles, 99% of men I matched with said The Alchemist.
I finally read it a few years ago and was blown away by how mediocre it was. So now if I ever find myself single and wanting to date men again, I’m screwed lol
